Iowa Kratom Legal Status Update

As of January 2026, kratom remains legal statewide in Iowa, but there are pending legislative efforts. House File 612 (HF 612) proposes a Kratom Consumer Protection Act, while Senate File 367 (SF 367) and a Department of Public Safety pre-file request would classify kratom as a Schedule I controlled substance, effectively banning it.

A document from the Mid-America Prevention Technology Transfer Center (a SAMHSA-funded entity) updated January 2026, explicitly states kratom is legal but highlights proposed legislation (SF 367) that would ban it as a Schedule I substance and other proposals to regulate it.
