Bill > SF0194

This bill establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for electronic cigarette and vapor material manufacturers in Wyoming, requiring them to obtain an annual license for $1,000 and meet several strict certification requirements. Manufacturers must provide detailed information about their business, including names, addresses, and documentation proving compliance with federal regulations like the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act. Non-resident manufacturers must also maintain a $25,000 surety bond and designate a local agent for legal service. The bill prohibits delivery sales of electronic cigarettes and vapor materials directly to consumers and requires the Department of Revenue to publish a list of licensed manufacturers starting July 1, 2025. Retailers, distributors, and wholesalers will be subject to at least two unannounced compliance checks annually, with potential penalties ranging from $1,000 for a first violation to more severe consequences for repeat offenses, including potential action under the Wyoming Consumer Protection Act. Additionally, any electronic cigarette or vapor material from an unlicensed manufacturer will be considered contraband and subject to seizure, effectively creating a stringent licensing and enforcement mechanism to regulate the electronic cigarette and vapor material market in the state.
