Kratom Products Temporary Ban

Context

The 2026-09-14 Board of Health agenda includes a 'Kratom Products Temporary Ban' item presented by Nicholas Antanavica (Inspectional Services) with Nikki Nixon, Director of the Division of Public Health. The agenda gives no detail on the scope or authority for the ban.

Status

Known only from the posted agenda. Note that the meeting was reportedly adjourned without deliberations and rescheduled to 2026-09-30 (see the Board of Health page for 2026-09-14), so the item may not have been taken up on the 14th.
