New Jersey Kratom Legal Status Update
Assembly Bill No. 5129, known as 'CJ's Law,' which would criminalize the manufacture, possession, and sale of kratom, was reported favorably by the Assembly Appropriations Committee in December 2025. A legislative committee also approved this law in June 2024. While not yet fully enacted, the legislative process indicates a strong move towards a statewide ban, transitioning its status from 'LEGAL' to 'PENDING'.
Recent legislative actions, including committee approval and favorable reporting of a bill specifically designed to criminalize kratom, indicate that a statewide ban is in an advanced 'PENDING' state, despite it currently being legal.
