LC 1625 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise alternative nicotine and vapor products laws

This bill establishes a new regulatory framework for alternative nicotine and vapor products in Montana by creating separate definitions and requirements distinct from traditional tobacco laws. It mandates that retailers obtain an annual license from the state Department of Revenue and pay a $20 fee to sell these products, while prohibiting all sales to individuals under 18 years of age. The legislation also requires age-restricted sales venues, specific signage at point-of-sale locations, and limits vending machine sales to establishments where alcohol is served under direct supervision. These provisions aim to clarify state oversight of nicotine and vapor products while maintaining strict age verification and access controls.
