Tennessee Kratom Legal Status Update
House Bill 1647 (HB1647), introduced on February 2, 2026, proposes to enact "Matthew Davenport's Law." This legislation would establish severe criminal penalties, including Class D felony offenses for knowingly possessing Kratom and Class B felony offenses for manufacturing, delivering, or selling Kratom. If enacted, these provisions would effectively ban kratom in the state by making possession and distribution criminal offenses, changing its status from 'RESTRICTED' to 'BANNED'.
Tennessee is currently restricted, meaning it has some regulations, but not a complete ban. The proposed legislation would introduce felony charges for possession and sale, which represents a significant escalation to an effective ban, thus changing its legal status category.
