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 specific requirements for manufacturers, including annual certifications and 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, including "delivery sale," and establishes penalties for violations, which can include fines up to $1,500 for repeat offenses. Retailers, distributors, and wholesalers will be subject to biannual inspections to ensure compliance with the new regulations. The legislation aims to enhance oversight of the electronic cigarette market and protect consumers by ensuring that only licensed products are sold in the state.
