SB 257 requires manufacturers of electronic vaping devices sold in the state to certify annual compliance with new rules starting July 1, 2025. It creates a specific exemption for devices containing hemp (as defined by state law) without nicotine, which manufacturers must document via lab analysis. To comply, sellers must submit FDA marketing authorization proof, evidence of pending applications, or independent lab results confirming the device meets the hemp/nicotine exemption. This directly affects vaping device manufacturers and distributors operating in the state.
