Bill No. 1102 amends Oklahoma's laws regarding vapor products, focusing on the attestation requirements for manufacturers. It introduces new definitions such as "FDA," "timely filed premarket tobacco product application," and "vapor product," while modifying existing requirements for manufacturers to attest compliance with federal regulations. Starting July 1, 2025, manufacturers must submit an attestation under penalty of perjury to the Attorney General, certifying that their vapor products have either a timely filed application with the FDA or received a marketing granted order. The bill also requires manufacturers to provide detailed product information and pay a fee for the attestation submission. A directory of compliant manufacturers and products will be maintained by the Attorney General, with penalties for selling non-compliant products, including civil fines and the seizure of such products.

Additionally, the bill establishes licensing requirements for wholesalers and retailers of tobacco and vapor products, mandating that they secure licenses from the Oklahoma Tax Commission. It specifies penalties for violations, including fines and potential license revocation, and requires compliance checks and audits by the Tax Commission. The bill also includes provisions for the seizure and forfeiture of non-compliant products and mandates that wholesalers and retailers maintain detailed transaction records. Key insertions in the bill expand the regulatory framework to include vapor products alongside tobacco products, emphasizing the need for compliance with state laws to enhance public health and safety. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
