Bill No. 1102 amends Oklahoma's laws regarding vapor products, focusing on compliance requirements for manufacturers. It introduces new definitions for "vapor product" and "timely filed premarket tobacco product application," and modifies the attestation process that manufacturers must follow. Starting July 1, 2025, manufacturers are required to submit an attestation to the Attorney General, certifying that their products have either a pending or granted marketing order from the FDA or were available for purchase in the U.S. as of August 8, 2016. The bill also outlines the necessary documentation and fees, including a $5,000 initial fee and a $2,500 annual renewal fee. Additionally, the responsibility for maintaining a directory of compliant manufacturers is transferred from the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement (ABLE) Commission to the Attorney General, with penalties established for selling non-compliant products.

The bill further expands the regulatory framework by requiring wholesalers and retailers to secure licenses from the Oklahoma Tax Commission, with specific fees for each license type. It mandates that vehicles used for selling these products also require licensing, with reduced fees for licensed businesses. Stricter penalties are established for operating without a valid license, and authorized agents are given the power to seize non-compliant products. The legislation emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper documentation for transactions and compliance with tax laws, ultimately aiming to enhance regulatory oversight and enforcement in the sale and distribution of tobacco and vapor products in Oklahoma.
