HI HB1573

Requires electronic smoking device and e-liquid manufacturers to submit annual certifications by October 1, 2026, confirming they have received FDA marketing granted orders and comply with state and federal laws, accompanied by a $1,000 fee per product.

Directs the Department of the Attorney General to publish and maintain a public directory beginning January 1, 2027, listing all certified manufacturers and approved electronic smoking devices and e-liquids by brand, product name, category, and flavor.

Prohibits the sale, possession, or distribution of electronic smoking devices and e-liquids not listed in the directory, with non-compliant products subject to seizure, forfeiture, and destruction at the owner's expense.

Imposes civil penalties of $500 per product for retailers and intermediaries selling unlisted products (escalating to $2,000 for repeat violations), and $10,000 per product for manufacturers, plus misdemeanor charges for false certifications.

Authorizes the department to inspect business premises, examine records, and conduct searches of vehicles or vending machines when there is reasonable cause to believe products are being sold in violation of the law.
