House Bill 2359 and Senate Bill 2293 propose amendments to various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning vapor products. The bill redefines "consumable material" to specifically refer to liquid nicotine solutions, whether natural or synthetic, intended for use in vapor products. Additionally, it clarifies the definition of "vapor product" to include noncombustible products that utilize a mechanical heating element or similar mechanism to produce vapor, while explicitly excluding products regulated under federal law.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the penalties associated with violations related to vapor products by specifying that fines will be issued by the alcoholic beverage commission, rather than being a general fine. This legislative change aims to provide clearer definitions and regulatory oversight for vapor products in Tennessee. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
