SB 987 Business Regulation – Electronic Smoking Devices (ESD) Manufacturers – Certifications. Support Did Not Pass 2024
Bill Focus: Tobacco
Bill Information:

The bill would establish new licenses and fees for electronic smoking device (ESD) manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers in Maryland.  It would authorize the ATCC (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Cannabis Commission) to conduct unannounced inspections of licensed vape shop vendors. Finally, it would require the Attorney General to create and maintain a common registry of ESD products that can be legally sold in Maryland.  These measures, and a standard licensing system for all tobacco products: cigarettes, and ESDs and OTPs (Other tobacco products), would reduce youth access and the health of Marylanders.
