In Idaho, kratom remains legal, but it is currently unregulated by state statute.   

State Legislative Status

  • KCPA Proposal (S1282): Introduced by the Senate Agricultural Affairs Committee to establish the Idaho Kratom Consumer Protection and Safety Act. It aimed to restrict sales to adults 21 and older, cap 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) levels, ban synthetics/adulterants, and establish clear labeling rules.   
  • Prohibition Proposals (HB830 & HB864): Introduced in the House to amend the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, aiming to classify mitragynine and its derivatives as Schedule I controlled substances (which would impose a statewide criminal ban).   
  • Current Outcome: The competing legislation stalled when the legislative session adjourned, leaving the state without an active prohibition or formal statewide regulation.   

Local Municipal Bans

  • Idaho Falls: Banned retail sales. The Idaho Falls City Council passed a municipal ordinance prohibiting the sale and distribution of kratom within city limits, which took effect on July 1, 2026.
