Relating to county and municipal authority to prohibit the operation of e-cigarette retailers near public primary or secondary schools.

HB 1816 allows counties and municipalities to ban e-cigarette retailers from operating within 1,000 feet of public primary or secondary school campuses. The bill permits local governments to adopt ordinances or orders enforcing this restriction, with an exception for retailers where e-cigarette sales account for less than 50% of total revenue at that location. This directly affects local regulatory authorities and e-cigarette retailers near schools, while exempting small retailers with minimal e-cigarette sales. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not apply to retailers meeting the 50% sales threshold.
