Bill > HB63

This bill modifies Kentucky's laws regulating nicotine and vapor products by removing several existing definitions and provisions related to vapor products. Specifically, the bill eliminates terms like "authorized vapor product" and "safe harbor certification" from the state's legal code, and removes multiple sections of law that previously governed the sale, distribution, and regulation of vapor products. The bill maintains existing age restrictions prohibiting the sale of tobacco, alternative nicotine, and vapor products to individuals under 21 years old, and preserves requirements for retailers to check proof of age and post notices about age restrictions. The legislation also updates enforcement mechanisms by removing specific sections related to vapor product regulation while keeping the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control's authority to issue fines for violations. Essentially, the bill streamlines and simplifies Kentucky's legal approach to nicotine and vapor products by eliminating complex prior definitions and regulatory frameworks, while maintaining core age-related sales protections.
