The proposed law would add Chapter 50, "Drugs and Drug Products," to the Village Code, making it unlawful to sell, offer for sale, distribute or otherwise provide kratom products in the village, natural leaf included. Penalties read into the record were up to $1,000 for a first offense, $2,500 for a second, and $5,000 or revocation of any applicable permit or license after that, with each day a separate offense, handled by summons as a code violation rather than a crime.
Nothing was adopted on October 6. The Board of Trustees asked counsel to remove possession and to expand the definition of kratom to add 7-OH and any other natural or synthetic ingredient or derivative of the kratom plant, then voted to put the law at the top of the agenda for its next meeting.
The Board meets next on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. at Village Hall.
Orders to Village of Montgomery addresses ship normally unless and until a law is adopted and takes effect.
