South Carolina Kratom Legal Status Update
While the South Carolina Kratom Consumer Protection Act (Bill 221) was approved by the Governor on May 12, 2025, establishing regulations for kratom, a new bill (H4641) was introduced on January 13, 2026, aiming to add kratom to Schedule I controlled substances, effectively banning it statewide and repealing the KCPA. The status is now pending a potential ban.
A recently approved act (Bill 221) established regulations (confirming a RESTRICTED status). However, a new bill (H4641) introduced in January 2026, aims to ban kratom by classifying it as a Schedule I controlled substance and repealing the existing KCPA. This significant legislative action makes the future legal status uncertain, hence 'PENDING'.
