HB 24-1356

House Bill 24-1356, which has been approved and is now in effect, makes it illegal for businesses to sell electronic smoking devices like e-cigarettes to people under a certain age. This law allows the state attorney general or local district attorneys to take legal action against anyone who violates this rule.

Since the governor signed it into law on June 3, 2024, businesses must now comply with these regulations immediately.
