This bill amends and reenacts R.S. 26:926.1 to establish a directory for vapor product and alternative nicotine product manufacturers in Louisiana. It requires every manufacturer whose products are sold in the state to submit a certification to the commissioner, affirming that their products were on the market as of specific dates and that they have applied for a marketing order from the FDA. The bill introduces new provisions for alternative nicotine product manufacturers, including a requirement to provide evidence of their premarket tobacco product application and updates to the directory.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the commissioner in maintaining the directory, including making it publicly available, updating it regularly, and notifying registered dealers of changes. It imposes fines for manufacturers offering products not listed in the directory and establishes fees for certification and renewal. The bill also includes provisions for violations and the adoption of rules for implementation and enforcement.
