April 2025 has been a pivotal month for kratom advocacy, marked by significant legislative developments and proactive efforts by the American Kratom Association (AKA) to safeguard consumer rights and access.
Kratom Legislation in Texas: What You Need to Know
As of April 2025, Kratom remains legal in Texas—but it may not stay that way without continued advocacy and awareness. Lawmakers in the state have shown growing interest in introducing regulations that could impact Kratom access, including potential age restrictions, labeling requirements, and even limitations on specific alkaloids.
The American Kratom Association (AKA) is actively monitoring the situation and preparing to respond to any proposed legislation that could unfairly restrict safe and responsible use. Their goal in Texas, as in other states, is to support the adoption of the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA)—a framework that ensures product safety, transparency, and continued access for consumers.
Texans who value their freedom to choose natural wellness options are encouraged to stay informed and ready to take action. Your voice matters more than ever.

Florida’s Proposed Kratom Legislation Raises Concerns
In Florida, House Bill 1489 has emerged as a contentious piece of legislation within the kratom community. The bill proposes stringent regulations that the AKA warns could lead to increased prices, limited product options, and potentially a de facto ban on kratom. The association has mobilized Florida residents to contact their state senators and representatives, urging them to oppose HB 1489 and maintain existing kratom laws.
Missouri House Advances Kratom Regulation Bill
On March 27, 2025, the Missouri House gave initial approval to a bill aimed at regulating kratom products. The proposed legislation seeks to establish an age restriction of 21 for kratom purchases and impose limitations on product ingredients. While the bill awaits a final House vote before moving to the Senate, the AKA has expressed concerns over amendments that may permit the sale of synthetic forms of 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), a potent kratom extract. The association continues to advocate for consumer safety and transparent product labeling in Missouri.
Looking Ahead
The AKA remains steadfast in its mission to protect consumer access to safe kratom products through science-based advocacy and legislative engagement. As state-level initiatives continue to evolve, the association encourages supporters to stay informed and participate in advocacy efforts to ensure fair and reasonable regulations. We encourage everyone to closely follow the ever changing landscape and laws regarding Kratom, as allowing our voices to be fully heard is the absolute best proactive way in letting the truth be known and to prevail for a tree leaf that has helped so many!
