Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill HCR 6011 now focuses specifically on vapor product retail establishments, removing references to tobacco retailers. This change is significant because it suggests a targeted approach to regulation, addressing concerns unique to vapor products rather than grouping them together with tobacco. By narrowing the scope, lawmakers aim to better understand and respond to the specific regulatory needs of the vapor industry.
