AI Summary

This bill expands the definition of "consumable material" to include natural and synthetic liquid nicotine solutions and liquid nicotine analogues, which are the substances used in vapor products, for the purpose of taxation. It also clarifies the definition of a "vapor product" to encompass devices that heat these consumable materials to produce vapor, including electronic cigarettes and similar items, while excluding products regulated by federal law. Furthermore, the bill designates the Alcoholic Beverage Commission as the entity responsible for issuing fines for the offense of selling or offering vapor products to individuals under 21 years of age, a change from the previous wording that simply stated the offense was subject to a fine.
