Bill > H0538

This bill amends existing law to apply provisions regarding tobacco products to electronic smoking devices as well. Specifically, the bill expands the definition of "tobacco product or electronic smoking device" to include electronic nicotine delivery devices like e-cigarettes, and applies the same restrictions and penalties for the illegal sale, possession, and use of these products by minors. The bill also requires retailers selling tobacco products or electronic smoking devices to obtain permits and comply with regulations around vendor-assisted sales, age verification, and delivery sales. Overall, the bill aims to address the public health challenge of youth use of tobacco and nicotine products, including emerging electronic smoking devices.
