Senate Bill 2397, also known as House Bill 2539, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 39-17-1513, concerning the regulation of vapor products. The bill deletes the existing section and replaces it with new language that urges the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health to study the effects of selling and distributing vapor products to individuals under the age of twenty-one. Furthermore, these departments are encouraged to provide recommendations to the legislature aimed at reducing such sales and distribution.

The bill emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of vapor products on youth and seeks to inform legislative action based on the findings of the study. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting the urgency of addressing this public health concern.
