Summary

The law makes it illegal to bring into the state, produce, sell or offer for sale single‑use vape pens that contain nicotine and have a built‑in, non‑rechargeable battery. It targets manufacturers, importers, retailers and distributors, and adds civil fines and license‑revocation powers for violations. The measure aims to curb waste and youth access to disposable vaping products.
