Bill > SB269

This bill suspends several Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) provisions related to nicotine products that were originally enacted in 2024, specifically pushing back their implementation until April 15, 2026. The bill is retroactive to January 1, 2025, meaning its effects will apply from that date. The legislation includes an emergency clause, which is justified by the need to await a potential Supreme Court decision regarding the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) denial of approval for flavored vaping products. By suspending these statutes, the bill effectively pauses new regulations on nicotine products in Kentucky until the specified future date, allowing time for potential federal judicial review of existing vaping product regulations. The emergency provision means the bill will take effect immediately upon passage, either through gubernatorial approval or automatic legal process, providing immediate relief from the previously enacted nicotine product regulations.
