The bill amends the Youth Tobacco Act of 1915 by adding a new section, Sec. 1a, which restricts state departments or agencies from creating or enforcing regulations specifically for vapor products. This means that, unless explicitly required by state or federal law, any rules governing vapor products cannot impose conditions, restrictions, or standards that differ from those applied to other products sold in Michigan.
The intent of this amendment is to ensure that vapor products are treated similarly to other consumer products, thereby preventing any unique regulatory burdens that could affect their manufacture or sale. This change aims to create a more uniform regulatory environment for vapor products within the state.
