Each annual certification form must be accompanied by information required by the Attorney General to verify that the corresponding vapor product may be sold in the State. A manufacturer is required to notify the Attorney General within 30 days of any material change to the certification form.
On or before June 1, 2026, the Attorney General must maintain and make publicly available a directory that lists all vapor product manufacturers and vapor products for which certification forms have been submitted.
