Bill > H2379

This bill amends Section 28(b) of Chapter 270 of the General Laws to add an exception related to certain tobacco products that have received specific orders from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Specifically, the bill allows for tobacco products that have received an order under U.S.C. chapter 387j or chapter 387k(g), which likely refers to FDA regulatory actions concerning modified risk tobacco products or premarket tobacco product applications. While the bill's language is brief, it appears to create a legal carve-out for tobacco products that have gone through a particular FDA review and authorization process, potentially providing a pathway for certain tobacco harm-reduction products to be treated differently under Massachusetts law. The precise implications would depend on the specific FDA orders referenced and the context of the existing law.
