Legal changes tracker
State kratom and 7-OH laws are moving quickly. This page tracks changes that are already enacted with a future effective date, plus the entries that were most recently checked against their sources.
Upcoming dated changes
Effective 2026-07-01
Tennessee — Kratom
RegulatedBannedKratom is banned in Tennessee. Under "Matthew Davenport's Law" (HB1649), signed in April 2026 and effective July 1, 2026, all kratom products — natural leaf and synthetic — are prohibited, and possession and sale are crimes. Confirm current Tennessee law with official sources before relying on this summary.
Effective 2026-07-01
Tennessee — 7-OH
RegulatedBanned7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is banned in Tennessee. Under "Matthew Davenport's Law" (HB1649), signed in 2026 and effective July 1, 2026, all kratom products — natural leaf and synthetic — are prohibited, and possession and sale are crimes. Federally, the FDA recommended in 2025 that the DEA schedule concentrated 7-OH, but 7-OH remains federally unscheduled as of 2026.
Recently checked
The entries most recently verified against official sources. Each state page shows its own last-checked date and citations.
- 2026-06-14Florida — 7-OHBanned
Rechecked against the rule record and the 2026 legislative session: emergency rule 2ER25-3 remains in force but is set to expire June 30, 2026, and the bill to schedule 7-hydroxymitragynine permanently (SB 994) died in committee on March 13, 2026. No permanent rule or statute has replaced it. This entry must be rechecked on or before June 30, 2026 and removed if the rule lapses with nothing in its place.

- 2026-06-06Indiana — KratomBanned
Re-verified after 7-OH curation flagged Indiana: current IC 35-31.5-2-321 lists both 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine, and IC 35-48-2-4(g) includes synthetic drugs in Schedule I. Retained banned classification for kratom products containing those alkaloids.
- 2026-06-06Indiana — 7-OHBanned
First published from Ind. Code § 35-31.5-2-321 naming 7-hydroxymitragynine in the synthetic-drug definition; flagged review-needed (synthetic-drug route, not a schedule listing; contradicts the prior kratom-IN rationale).

Common questions
What does this tracker show?
Two things: state laws that have already been enacted with a future effective date, and the entries we checked most recently. Every item links to the state page and the source it is based on.
Do you predict future laws?
No. An upcoming change is only listed once a law or rule has been adopted with a specific effective date. Proposed or pending bills are not listed here until they are enacted with a date.
Why does a dated change not show on the state page yet?
A state page shows the current law until the change takes effect. On the effective date the page updates automatically to the new status. This page lets you see the change in advance.
How often is this updated?
Entries are rechecked against official sources on an ongoing basis, and each state page shows its own last-checked date. This page lists the most recent of those checks.
