Prohibits the sale or provision of any quantity of electronic liquid used to refill an electronic cigarette or cartridge
This bill prohibits the sale, offer for sale, or giveaway of any e-liquid (liquid nicotine used in electronic cigarettes) for refilling devices. It directly affects retailers, manufacturers, and distributors selling refillable e-liquid products, with limited exceptions for registered in-state manufacturers approved by the health commissioner. Key provisions include a $500 civil penalty per violation for noncompliance and an explicit exception for prefilled, sealed cartridges sold by manufacturers. The law does not apply to prefilled cartridges, only to standalone refill liquids.
