Ban7-OH limitsToday

November 2026

  1. Hamilton County

    Public hearingFull ban, all forms

    Hamilton County Board of Supervisors

    Public hearing on Proposed Local Law No. 2 of 2026, which would prohibit the sale and/or distribution of kratom in all forms within Hamilton County.

    The ask: Use the State's 7-OH limits instead of banning all kratom.

    How to take part: Speak at the hearing. For written comments, use the contact details on the county's notice.

    Place: County Office Complex, Route 8, Lake Pleasant, NY

  2. Seneca County

    Vote expectedAsks the State for 7-OH limits

    Seneca County Board of Supervisors

    Regular meeting. The Board is expected to vote on HHS #2, which its Health and Human Services Committee approved by voice vote on October 27. The resolution asks the Governor and the Legislature to prohibit synthetic, adulterated and high-potency kratom products while avoiding a broad ban on natural leaf, and to act on S8925-A. It is a request to the State, not a local law, so it would not change what can be sold in Seneca County.

    How to take part: To speak, ask the Clerk of the Board by November 5 to be put on the agenda, and give a general topic. After that, sign in with the Clerk before the meeting starts, with a general topic, and the Chair may let you speak during Open Privilege of the Floor. Speakers give their name, address and any affiliation and get up to five minutes. Written statements become part of the minutes or public record but are not read into the record. Contact details are on the Board of Supervisors page, linked below.

    Place: County Office Building, 1 DiPronio Drive, Waterloo, NY 13165

    The November agenda had not been posted as of October 28, so the vote is expected but not confirmed.

    Place: 401 State Street, Hudson, NY 12534
