TOBACCO/TOBACCO PRODUCTS: Provides relative to the vapor product and alternative nicotine product directory
This bill amends existing laws to update the legal framework governing the vapor product and alternative nicotine product directory. By replacing a specific reference to a single statute with a broader citation, the legislation ensures that all current rules and regulations related to this directory remain valid and enforceable. The change directly affects state agencies responsible for maintaining the directory and the public health officials who oversee vapor and nicotine product compliance. This procedural update clarifies the legal basis for the directory without altering the specific requirements for product listing or regulation.
