30th July 2024: US - Kentucky: According to local news, a Kentucky Circuit Court judge has dismissed a constitutional challenge to House Bill 11, which created a vape registry law in the state that will go into effect on 1st January 2025. The challenge was based on the argument that the title of the law is “An act relating to nicotine products” whereas it also regulates other substances, and it’s against constitutional law that a law relates to more than one subject. In his opinion, the judge wrote that the title “more than furnishes a clue to its contents and provides a general idea of the bill’s contents”. He also said: “The sale of nicotine and vapor products are highly regulated in every state, and the court will not question the specific reasons for the General Assembly’s decision to regulate and limit the sale of nicotine and vapor products to only products approved by the FDA [US Food and Drug Administration] or granted a safe-harbor certification by the FDA.”
29th February 2024: US - Kentucky: Senate Bill (SB) 344, which would establish a vapour directory in the state, has been introduced. The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is to be responsible for maintaining and making available the directory, which lists vapour product manufacturers as well as all vapour products and brands that are sold in the state. The directory would be available on the department’s website by 1st January 2025.
9th January 2024: US - Kentucky: House Bill 142 has been introduced, which would require the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to establish a vapour retail licence and require retailers to have a retail licence to sell vapour products. The bill would also increase penalties for violations related to the sale of tobacco products, alternative nicotine products, or vapour products.
