The proposed bill establishes a regulatory framework for electronic cigarettes and vapor materials in Wyoming. It mandates that manufacturers obtain a license from the Department of Revenue, which will maintain a publicly accessible list of licensed manufacturers starting July 1, 2025. The bill prohibits the sale of electronic cigarettes and vapor materials from manufacturers not on this list and outlines the requirements for manufacturers to file annual certifications, including compliance with federal regulations. Additionally, it imposes a $1,000 annual licensing fee and requires nonresident manufacturers to maintain a $25,000 bond.

The bill also introduces new definitions related to the sale of nicotine products, specifically defining "delivery sales" and establishing penalties for violations. Retailers, distributors, and wholesalers will be subject to biannual inspections to ensure compliance, with penalties for noncompliance escalating for repeated violations. The legislation aims to enhance oversight and accountability in the sale of electronic cigarettes and vapor materials, thereby promoting public health and safety.
