AI Summary

This bill seeks to repeal the state's existing ban on menthol-flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), also known as e-cigarettes. The bill would amend current law to allow the sale of ENDS with characterizing flavors, including menthol, as long as they are not sold in retail establishments but rather through online, phone, or other delivery methods to out-of-state consumers. The bill also maintains existing restrictions on the nicotine content of ENDS products. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Revenue to study and report on the impact of this bill and the previous ENDS legislation on the state's tax revenues.
