LEGAL NOTICE
PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING INTRODUCTORY LOCAL LAW E OF 2026
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Washington County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing in the Supervisors’ Chambers, Washington County Municipal Center, Building B, 383 Broadway, Fort Edward, New York on May 15, 2026 at 10:05 AM to consider the adoption of proposed Introductory Local Law E of 2026 prohibiting the sale of Kratom and products containing Kratom. This local law shall be known as the “Washington County Kratom Consumer Protection Act.” The Board of Supervisors finds that the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that Kratom and its derivatives pose threats to public health and have the potential to be abused and that to protect the health and safety of its residents, Kratom should not be sold in Washington County. Copies of said Introductory Local Law E of 2026 are available on the County website: www.washingtoncountyny.gov and at the Clerk of Board’s Office, Municipal Center, 383 Broadway, Fort Edward, NY.
All persons interested in the subject matter of proposed Introductory Local Law E of 2026 will be heard at that time and place concerning the same.
By Order of the Board of Supervisors
Debra Prehoda, Clerk
DATED: April 24, 2026
