State agencies (existing): generally; certain rules related to vapor products; prohibit state departments or agencies from promulgating or enforcing. Amends 1915 PA 31 (MCL 722.641 - 722.645) by adding sec. 1a.
HB 5096 prohibits Michigan state departments and agencies from creating or enforcing rules that apply different conditions, restrictions, or standards to vapor products (like e-cigarettes) compared to other products sold in the state. The bill directly affects state agencies, such as health or consumer protection departments, by preventing them from making separate regulations for vapor products. It requires that any rules governing vapor products must align with those applied to all other consumer products. This is a regulatory parity measure, not a ban on vapor products or their sale. The bill amends the Youth Tobacco Act to add this restriction as Section 1a.
