Relating to county and municipal authority to prohibit the operation of e-cigarette retailers near primary or secondary schools.
HB 1183 allows counties and municipalities to prohibit e-cigarette retailers from operating within specific distances of school campuses. It sets a 300-foot limit for all primary or secondary schools (public or private) without requiring a school request, and a 1,000-foot limit when school districts or private school governing bodies formally request it. The bill includes an exception: it does not apply to retailers where e-cigarette sales account for less than 50% of total revenue. The law would take effect September 1, 2025, if passed.
