(4) makes each officer of any e-cig corporation that sales vapor products without a valid license or after a license has been suspended or revoked guilty of a misdemeanor
(5) change the location restrictions for public vaping to reflect the STAKE Act’s definitions of smoking and tobacco products. The bill would make the use of electronic cigarettes in some of these restricted locations a violation punishable as an infraction.

This bill is interesting because, to my knowledge, it is the first vapor-related bill that was proposed to create a legislative committee to study e-cigs. Typically, other legislatures direct public health agencies to conduct a review of vapor products as a provision of bill, the primary purpose of which is unrelated to the study.

- Notes
For vapor-related purposes, this Senate Bill is identical to House Bouse 2561, with one key difference.
This bill would achieve the following:
(1) relocate the prohibition against furnishing electronic smoking devices to minors to another chapter of the Hawaii Revised Statutes
(2) it adds a new section on the 21 purchase age section. This provisions requires signs to be posted in several locations ("The sale of tobacco products or electronic smoking devices to persons under twenty one is prohibited"), and includes fines for furnishing e-cigs to minors and for failing to comply with the sign requirements.
THE HOUSE PROVISION THAT IS OMITTED IN THE SENATE BILL would repeal Section 709-908 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, which was passed last year and received extensive media coverage, as it is the section of law that made Hawaii the first U.S. state to increase the purchase age of tobacco and vapor products from 18 to 21.
What This Could Mean: One option is that this omitted provision is the crux on which the bill's Senate approval rests. For whatever reasons, Senator Agaran could believe that the bill will not survive with this provision. Another option is that he may have decided that it was not in conflict with s. 709-908, and could simply be added as its own section without repealing an enacted portion of the Hawaii Revisited Statutes. The Senator could have spoken with the House sponsor and they collaborated to introduce slightly different bills with the hope that at least one version would garner sufficient support. On the other hand, there may have been no strategy behind the omission at all. It could have been simple oversight or a clerical error.

This bill is a response to Indiana House Bill 1432, which was passed in 2015 and is perhaps the most notoriously disputed law on products.
