Tobacco, Tobacco Products - As enacted, expands the definition of "consumable material" to include natural and synthetic liquid nicotine solutions and liquid nicotine analogues for purposes of the taxation of vapor products containing such material; requires the alcoholic beverage commission to issue the fines for the offense of selling or offering for sale a vapor product for retail sale in this state to anyone under 21. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17; Title 43; Title 57 and Title 67, Chapter 4, Part 10.
SB 2293 amends Tennessee law to expand the definition of "consumable material" to include all liquid nicotine solutions (natural or synthetic) and nicotine analogues used in vapor products. This change directly affects vapor product retailers and manufacturers, as it brings these nicotine liquids under the state's existing vapor product taxation rules. The bill also shifts enforcement authority: the Alcoholic Beverage Commission, rather than courts, will now issue fines for selling vapor products to anyone under 21. Additionally, it updates definitions to clarify that vapor products include e-cigarettes and related cartridges, while excluding products regulated under federal food/drug law. These provisions aim to modernize regulatory scope and enforcement for nicotine-containing vapor products.
