Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill HB 265 now requires registration for non-nicotine inhalation products and substances, along with establishing penalties for selling unregistered items. Importantly, it creates a criminal offense for the illegal distribution of cannabinoid inhalation products while clarifying that cannabinoid products do not include electronic cigarettes. These changes matter because they tighten regulations around certain inhalation products, potentially enhancing consumer safety and reducing illegal sales in the market.
