Relating to: the electronic vaping device directory and electronic nicotine devices. (FE)
AB 234 amends Wisconsin law to clarify the legal definition of "electronic vaping device." It explicitly includes devices like e-cigarettes, vape pens, and e-cigars, along with their components, accessories, and nicotine-containing liquids, while excluding separate batteries and FDA-approved nicotine products. This definition directly affects vaping device manufacturers, retailers, and regulators by establishing clear boundaries for compliance under state law. The bill does not create new regulations but refines existing terminology to improve legal clarity.
