HB 525 Montana House · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws relating to nicotine and vapor products

HB 525 aimed to revise laws concerning nicotine vapor products, directly affecting manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers by regulating their sale and distribution. The bill would have established a directory, maintained by the Attorney General, listing nicotine vapor products approved for sale in the state. Manufacturers of these products would have been required to annually certify that their products meet federal FDA marketing authorization standards, such as having a granted marketing order or a pending application. This certification would involve submitting product details and paying fees, with products not listed in the directory prohibited from sale.
