Delaware — SB 262, HB 332 status update
About This Event
Delaware's legal status for kratom has been described as legal but unregulated. Senate Bill 262, introduced on March 18, 2026, seeks to make manufacturing, distributing, selling, or possessing with intent to sell kratom a Class C felony, and personal possession a Class B misdemeanor. Conversely, House Bill 332, introduced on March 26, 2026, aims to establish a Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which would set an age limit of 21+, mandate labeling requirements, and limit 7-Hydroxymitragynine concentrations. Both bills are currently in legislative committees, indicating an active 'PENDING' status for significant changes to kratom's legality. The database's 'RESTRICTED' status for Delaware is not fully aligned with reports indicating an unregulated legal market prior to these bills.
