This bill aims to regulate electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) by prohibiting the sale and certification of flavored vapor products in Nebraska. It amends several sections of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, including definitions related to alternative nicotine products and electronic nicotine delivery systems. Notably, the bill introduces a new definition for "flavored vapor product," which includes any ENDS that has a distinguishable taste or smell other than tobacco or menthol. Additionally, it establishes penalties for licensees who violate these provisions, including potential revocation of their licenses.

The bill also harmonizes existing laws by incorporating references to the new section regarding flavored vapor products into various sections of the law, ensuring that all related statutes are consistent. Specifically, it prohibits any person holding a license under the relevant sections from marketing, advertising, or selling flavored vapor products. Furthermore, the Tax Commissioner is restricted from issuing certifications for flavored vapor products, reinforcing the bill's intent to limit access to these products. The original sections of the law that are being amended will be repealed to accommodate these changes.
