This bill establishes new regulations for the manufacturing, labeling, marketing, and safety of vapor products in Oklahoma, with the primary aim of protecting public health and safety. It introduces definitions for key terms related to vapor products, such as "e-liquid," "manufacturer," and "advertisement," and outlines specific requirements for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. These requirements include the use of child-proof caps, tamper-evident packaging, and compliance with labeling standards. Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of certain terms and imagery in marketing that may appeal to minors, and restricts advertising locations and methods, particularly on social media.
The bill also authorizes the Attorney General to enforce these regulations and imposes civil penalties for violations, which can reach up to $10,000 per infraction. A new Vapor Products Compliance Fund is created to support the enforcement of these regulations, with penalties collected being deposited into this fund. Furthermore, the bill repeals a previous section of law related to vapor product manufacturer attestation and other related matters. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
