Bill Summary

Liquid nicotine and nicotine vapor products; certification. Changes the date from December 31, 2025, to July 1, 2027, by which every manufacturer of liquid nicotine or nicotine vapor products that are sold for retail sale in the Commonwealth must certify to the Attorney General that the manufacturer has met certain statutory requirements.

AI Summary

This bill extends the deadline for manufacturers of liquid nicotine and nicotine vapor products, such as e-cigarettes and e-liquids, to certify to the Attorney General that they meet specific federal requirements, moving the date from December 31, 2025, to July 1, 2027. These requirements, established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Tobacco Control Act (specifically 21 U.S.C. § 387j), mandate that manufacturers either have FDA marketing authorization for their products or have submitted a premarket tobacco product application that is still under review or awaiting a final decision. The bill also outlines the process for this certification, including the submission of relevant FDA documentation and the payment of fees, and establishes penalties for false representations.
