North Dakota – Governor Kelly Armstrong signed House Bill 1628 into law on April 09, 2026, establishing new regulations for the sale and distribution of kratom products across the state.

According to the Office of the Governor, the new legislation mandates a complete ban on all synthetic kratom products. Additionally, the law restricts the sale of natural kratom to individuals 21 years of age or older and requires that all products carry accurate labeling.

The measure aims to increase oversight of these products within the state. Further information regarding the implementation of these regulations can be found on the official government website at https://www.governor.nd.gov/.
