A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 3 of section 19-03.1-05 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the scheduling of mitragynine as a schedule I controlled substance.
HB 1101 would have classified mitragynine (the active ingredient in kratom) as a Schedule I controlled substance under North Dakota law, making it illegal to possess, sell, or distribute.

The bill proposed amending specific sections of the North Dakota Century Code to implement this scheduling change. The legislation failed to pass in the legislature, receiving 15 votes in favor and 77 against on January 15, 2025.
