Bill > SB1272

This bill establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for vapor products in Arizona, requiring manufacturers to obtain certification from the Department of Liquor Licenses and Control before selling their products in the state. Beginning October 1, 2025, manufacturers must submit annual certifications proving that their vapor products have either received a Marketing Granted Order from the FDA or submitted a timely premarket tobacco product application. The bill mandates the creation of a public directory listing all approved vapor product manufacturers and their specific products, with detailed requirements for certification, fees, and compliance. Manufacturers must provide comprehensive product information, including brand names, product names, categories, and flavors. The legislation imposes significant penalties for non-compliance, including civil penalties ranging from $500 to $10,000 per day for violations, and provides mechanisms for removing non-compliant products from the market. The bill also requires out-of-state manufacturers to appoint a registered agent in Arizona and potentially post a $25,000 surety bond. Additional provisions include mandatory compliance checks for retailers, distributors, and wholesalers, and an annual reporting requirement to the state legislature detailing the implementation and enforcement of these new vapor product regulations.
