House Bill 525, also known as Senate Bill 638, amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding the regulation of vapor products. The bill specifically deletes the existing language in Section 39-17-1513 and replaces it with a new provision urging the Department of Agriculture to study the effects of vapor product sales and distribution to individuals under the age of twenty-one. The department is also encouraged to provide recommendations to the legislature aimed at reducing the sale, distribution, and use of these products among this age group.

The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of addressing the public welfare concerns associated with vapor products. This legislative change reflects a proactive approach to understanding and potentially mitigating the impact of vapor products on younger populations in Tennessee.
