Assembly Bill 234 seeks to amend the definition of "electronic vaping device" in Wisconsin statutes. The bill modifies section 995.15 (1) (b) by deleting the previous definition and inserting a new, more comprehensive one. The new definition specifies that an electronic vaping device is a device that delivers an aerosolized or vaporized liquid for inhalation, specifically from a heating element applied to a liquid containing nicotine. It includes various forms of devices such as e-cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes, vape pens, and e-hookahs, as well as components, parts, or accessories of these devices.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the definition encompasses liquids containing nicotine that may be aerosolized or vaporized, regardless of whether they are sold with the device or separately. However, it explicitly excludes batteries or battery chargers sold separately, as well as drugs, devices, or combination products that are authorized for sale by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This amendment aims to provide a clearer regulatory framework for electronic vaping devices in Wisconsin, aligning state law with federal standards.
