Bill Summary
2023 Wisconsin Act 73 created certain requirements related to Xelectronic vaping devices,Y defined in part as devices that may be used to deliver any aerosolized or vaporized liquid or other substance for inhalation, regardless of whether the liquid or other substance contains nicotine. Among the requirements is a requirement that a manufacturer of electronic vaping devices certify to the Department of Revenue that the manufacturer has received a marketing authorization or similar order for the electronic vaping device from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration pursuant to 21 USC 387j and a requirement that DOR maintain a directory of electronic vaping device manufacturers and electronic vaping devices for which certification forms have been submitted to DOR. The federal law 21 USC 387j generally requires that new tobacco products be reviewed by the FDA before being marketed.

AI Summary
This bill modifies the legal definition of an "electronic vaping device" to provide more comprehensive and specific parameters for such devices. Under the new definition, an electronic vaping device means a device that delivers an aerosolized or vaporized liquid for inhalation through a heating element applied to a liquid containing nicotine, which includes specific types of electronic smoking devices like e-cigarettes, e-cigars, vape pens, and e-hookahs. The bill expands the definition to include components, parts, accessories, and nicotine-containing liquids used with these devices, whether sold together or separately. The definition explicitly excludes standalone batteries, battery chargers, and drugs or devices already authorized for sale by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This legislation appears to be part of a broader effort to regulate electronic vaping devices, potentially to enhance consumer safety and ensure compliance with federal standards by providing clearer regulatory guidance about what constitutes an electronic vaping device.
