This bill establishes a legislative study committee to examine ways of managing the disposal of vapes and e-cigarettes, which are electronic nicotine delivery devices. The committee will consist of four members - three from the House of Representatives (appointed by the Speaker) and one from the Senate (appointed by the Senate President) - who will receive mileage compensation for their work. The committee's specific duties include investigating extended producer responsibility legislation, exploring potential regulations for commercial sales of these products, and considering other legislative or regulatory solutions for vape and e-cigarette disposal. The committee must elect a chairperson, hold its first meeting within 45 days of the bill's effective date, and require a quorum of three members. By November 1, 2026, the committee is required to submit a comprehensive report detailing its findings and recommendations to key state officials, including the Speaker of the House, Senate President, House and Senate Clerks, Governor, and State Library.
