This bill amends section 28-101 of the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025, to include new provisions regarding the sale of electronic smoking devices. It defines "electronic smoking device" and establishes that it is unlawful to sell, offer for sale, or distribute any such device manufactured after the bill's effective date without a child safety feature. Violators of this provision will be guilty of a Class IV misdemeanor. Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not apply to the interstate transportation or storage of these devices in warehouses or distribution centers.
The bill also harmonizes existing provisions and repeals the original section 28-101. The new legal language inserted into the current law includes definitions for electronic smoking devices and nicotine analogues, as well as the stipulation regarding the requirement for child safety features. Overall, the bill aims to enhance safety measures related to the retail sale of electronic smoking devices in Nebraska.
