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.
