Is Kratom Legal in Nebraska?
Nebraska transitioned from pending regulation to a regulated-legal kratom market under the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), which became fully operative with a product registration directory enforced from January 1, 2026, and further expanded by Legislative Bill 901, signed on April 7, 2026.
Legislative Bill 230 (LB 230), enacted in 2025, established the Kratom Consumer Protection Act in Nebraska, making kratom legal for adults 21 and older with regulations on labeling, testing, and 7-hydroxymitragynine content. Legislative Bill 901 was signed on April 7, 2026, expanding this framework by requiring a product registration directory, with enforcement beginning January 1, 2026. This represents a change from the database's 'PENDING' status to a 'RESTRICTED' (regulated) market. Legislative Bill 431, which aimed to classify kratom as a controlled substance, was indefinitely postponed on April 17, 2026, further solidifying the regulated status.
