Plain-language change summary

The changes to Bill HB 962 include the addition of specific session identifiers and the removal of certain phrases that outlined what constitutes a nicotine vapor product. This matters because the precise language clarifies the types of products that are regulated and specifies the requirements for verifying a buyer's age when these products are sold. By streamlining the definition of nicotine vapor products, the bill aims to improve enforcement and ensure that only adults can purchase these items.
