Level: City
State: Illinois
Citation: Village of Sandoval ordinance banning kratom and other synthetic and novel substances
Action date: 18 Sep 2026
Effective date: None stated or not yet known
Reaches: Distribution, Retail Sale

The Sandoval Village Board in Marion County adopted an ordinance banning kratom in both its natural and synthetic form, along with other synthetic and novel substances, covering sale and distribution for recreational use in the village.

Unlike the Dutchess, Suffolk and Ulster measures in New York, this one reaches natural leaf, so it is a genuine ban rather than a 7-OH threshold.

Mayor Mike Gelsinger indicated that prescriptions permitting use of natural kratom will be exempted. No prescription kratom product exists, so that carve-out does not change what a retailer or a shipper may do today.

The reporting does not state the meeting date, the penalties, or an effective date, and the village has published none of the three.

Sandoval is the twelfth Illinois municipality on our list, after Alton, Jerseyville, Glen Carbon, Edwardsville, Maryville, Wood River, Godfrey, Normal, Salem, Kinmundy and Naperville.
