Iowa Legislature Passes Bill Regulating E-cigarette Sales
According to Kcci on April 23rd, the Iowa House of Representatives and Senate passed a bill last week that regulates the sale of e-cigarette products, which is now awaiting Governor Kim Reynolds' signature.
House Bill 2677 will ban retailers from selling e-cigarette products that are not registered with the state's approval. State Senator Chris Cournoyer stated that the new law will remove unsafe products from store shelves.
It also provides us with an enforcement mechanism, and gives them that list, so we can go in and know which updates they have, what can and cannot be sold in the store.
A dealer in the state said that the bill would make more than 99% of their products illegal. The company was already in a vulnerable position before the bill was introduced. Currently, all 23 e-cigarette products approved by the FDA must submit pre-market review applications by September 9, 2020. The dealer stated that they were one of the 25 million applications rejected by the FDA.
Currently, the governor of the state needs to sign the bill before mid-May. The bill will take effect 30 days after the end of the legislative session, which is on July 1st.
