Bill > HB273

This bill raises the minimum age to buy, possess, or use nicotine products from 19 to 21 years old. It also places restrictions on the marketing of certain nicotine products, such as prohibiting advertising that makes health claims or uses certain flavors. The bill amends existing laws to expand the definition of prohibited products from just tobacco and tobacco products to include alternative nicotine products and electronic nicotine delivery systems. It requires e-liquid manufacturers and alternative nicotine product manufacturers to certify that their products comply with FDA regulations, and it gives the Department of Mental Health responsibility for ensuring the state's compliance with federal laws on tobacco and nicotine sales to minors.
