The proposed bill establishes a regulatory framework for manufacturers of electronic cigarettes and vapor materials in Wyoming. It mandates that manufacturers file annual certifications confirming compliance with federal marketing authorizations or premarket tobacco product applications. A directory will be created and maintained by the department, listing all certified products, and it will be illegal to sell any electronic cigarettes or vapor materials not included in this directory starting October 1, 2024. The bill outlines penalties for false representations, noncompliance, and establishes a process for confiscation of non-compliant products after a grace period.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for record-keeping by retailers and wholesalers, unannounced compliance checks, and the appointment of agents for service of process for nonresident manufacturers. It also requires the department to report annually to the joint revenue interim committee on the status of the directory and related enforcement activities. The bill amends existing definitions to incorporate these new regulations and is set to take effect immediately upon completion of legislative procedures.
