Ulster County legislators postponed consideration of a proposed 7-OH measure on September 3, 2026 without setting a new date, and the October 20 public hearing that was noticed should be treated as unconfirmed.

7-OH Only
Proposed Local Law No. 16 of 2026 is a bipartisan measure whose lead sponsor is Legislator William Murray. It is narrower than the county bans elsewhere in New York: it would reach only concentrated and synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine above 2 percent of total alkaloids or 1 milligram per serving, and it does not cover natural leaf.

A public hearing was noticed for October 20, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. in the Legislative Chambers, 244 Fair Street, Kingston. Treat that date as unconfirmed: legislators voted on September 3, 2026 to postpone consideration of the measure without setting a new date, and the county has published nothing since.

The county legislature calendar has also been failing to fetch, so the date has not been reverified at the source. Hudson Valley Botanicals continues shipping to Ulster County addresses.
