SF 345 Iowa Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the regulation of certain tobacco products, providing penalties, and including effective date provisions.

This Iowa bill establishes a new regulatory framework for the sale of specific smoking devices, such as glass or metal pipes, by requiring businesses to obtain permits and pay associated fees. It defines these devices based on their design and intended use while explicitly excluding traditional vapor products and certain types of smoking pipes. The legislation outlines how the Department of Revenue will enforce these rules, including the authority to collect taxes and impose civil penalties for violations. Additionally, it clarifies that this new chapter does not override existing state laws prohibiting the sale of drug paraphernalia or controlled substances.
