Hearing: bill would create state registry to limit sale of unauthorized disposable vapes; industry and retailers support registry mechanism
Summary
Representative Gaines proposed a state vape-product registry to clarify which disposable and other vaping products are legally authorized in Georgia. Supporters argued the registry will help retailers and enforcement; public-health and anti-diversion concerns were raised in committee testimony.
Representative Gaines introduced House Bill 577, a bill to create a state registry of vapor products authorized for sale in Georgia. The bill would require product registration and a per-product fee (committee discussion referenced a $1,000 registration fee) and would provide a mechanism for the Department of Revenue to enforce the registry and remove unauthorized products from the market.
