consolidating licensing, auditing, and enforcement responsibilities for wholesale and retail e-cigarettes sales under the liquor commission.
SB 80 moves the licensing, auditing, and enforcement oversight for both wholesale and retail e-cigarette sales from multiple agencies to the state liquor commission. This change directly affects e-cigarette businesses, requiring them to interact with the liquor commission for all regulatory compliance instead of separate departments. The bill consolidates these responsibilities into one agency, streamlining the process for businesses and regulators. The law became effective July 1, 2025, after being signed by the governor.
