Is Kratom Legal in Hawaii?
Legislation aimed at establishing a Kratom Consumer Protection Act in Hawaii, specifically House Bill 717, failed to advance in the 2025 legislative session and was carried over to the 2026 session, indicating that statewide restrictions on kratom have not been enacted and it remains legal.
The database lists Hawaii as 'RESTRICTED'. However, multiple recent sources indicate that kratom is currently 'LEGAL' and unregulated in Hawaii. Hawaii's HB 717 and SB 463, which aimed to establish a KCPA, failed to advance in the 2025 legislative session. House Bill 717 was specifically carried over to the 2026 Regular Session on December 8, 2025. This recent legislative action confirms that proposed restrictions did not become law in 2025, and therefore, no statewide restrictions are currently in place, making the status 'LEGAL'.
