Kratom

Chamber Passed·4/30/26

Adds kratom to Schedule I controlled substances in South Carolina and repeals the South Carolina Kratom Consumer Protection Act.

This bill amends South Carolina law by adding kratom and its derivatives to the list of Schedule I controlled substances. It also repeals the South Carolina Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which previously regulated the sale and use of kratom. This change means that kratom will now be subject to stricter regulations similar to other Schedule I substances, affecting those who use or sell kratom in the state.
