MINOR

The bill broadens the prohibition on selling vape products by shifting the focus from products that merely 'resemble' school supplies to any product 'made to be attractive to or target' minors. This change expands the law's reach to include items that appeal to youth through modern marketing tactics, such as specific colors, patterns, logos, or mottos, rather than just physical similarities to school items.

Scope change

The scope of prohibited products expanded from those physically resembling school supplies to include any product designed to appeal to persons under twenty-one through packaging, design, or advertising.

REQUIREMENT

Replaced the specific ban on products resembling school supplies with a broader ban on products made to attract or target minors.

Added explicit authority for the health department to regulate packaging that appeals to minors, including specific elements like colors, patterns, and logos.

DEFINITION

Updated the definition of targeted products to include marketing and design elements beyond just physical resemblance to school items.
