What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires a person who sells vapor products to obtain a cigarette and
tobacco products retailer license. Current law defines a “vapor product” as a
noncombustible product that produces vapor or aerosol for inhalation from the
application of a heating element, regardless of whether the liquid or other substance
contains nicotine.
Specifically, the bill requires a retailer who sells or offers for sale vapor products
to obtain an annual license from the clerk of the city, village, or town where the
retailer is located. Additionally, the bill authorizes two positions in the Department
of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to conduct investigations of retail
sales that are regulated by DATCP and two positions in the Department of Revenue
for administering and enforcing the taxes imposed on the sale of vapor products.
