South Dakota — HB 1151, SB 77 status update
About This Event
The provided 'CURRENT STATUS BY STATE' listed South Dakota as PENDING. However, South Dakota enacted regulations for kratom sales in 2025, which included restrictions on products with artificially enhanced levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) and requirements for labeling. This moved the state to a RESTRICTED status. Within the last 180 days, legislative efforts to impose an outright ban on kratom, specifically House Bill 1151 and Senate Bill 77, failed. HB 1151 failed in the House on February 17, 2026, and SB 77 failed in the Senate on January 22, 2026. The failure of these ban attempts confirms that kratom remains regulated under the 2025 restrictions, thus officially changing its status from PENDING to RESTRICTED.
