HB 1345 creates administrative forfeiture procedures for unregistered vaping products (ENDS) and cigarettes seized in Mississippi. It directly affects businesses or individuals selling these products without state registration, as the state can seize and forfeit items valued under $20,000 without criminal charges. Key mechanisms include mandatory notice via mail or newspaper publication, a 30-day window for owners to contest forfeiture in court, and requiring the seller to bear seizure and disposal costs. The bill applies to violations of Mississippi’s product directory laws, taking effect January 1, 2026.
