Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill prohibits the sale of flavored vaping liquid that has not obtained a tobacco product clearance order or a modified risk tobacco product order from the United States Food and Drug Administration. It will reduce General Fund revenue from the sales tax and tobacco products tax by $264,400 in fiscal year 2023-24 and $639,150 in fiscal year 2024-25. The decrease in sales tax revenue will reduce Local Government Fund revenue by $1,600 in fiscal year 2023-24 and $3,850 in fiscal year 2024-25. These estimates assume an effective date of January 1, 2024.
	Any additional costs to the Department of Health and Human Services to adopt the changes in this bill are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
