Iowa Kratom Legal Status Update

Kratom is currently legal and unregulated in Iowa, despite previously being listed as banned. While there were considerations for a ban (SF 367), recent legislative efforts indicate a focus on a Kratom Consumer Protection Act for regulation, implying it is not currently illegal.

The provided status indicated 'BANNED'. However, source [4] from 2024 states Kratom is completely legal and unregulated in Iowa. More recent information from January 2026 from a major news outlet discusses an Iowa House subcommittee hearing public comments on a 'Kratom Consumer Protection Act' to regulate the substance, with support for regulation over an outright ban. This strongly implies kratom is not currently banned, and that legislative efforts are towards future restriction rather than maintaining or enacting a ban. Information on SF 367 (a ban bill) indicates it did not pass in 2025.
