Two companion bills (HB 11 / SB 344) known to advocates as “PMTA Registry” legislation has been introduced and referred to their respective committees (linked below). HB 11 has passed the House and Senate and is now in the hands of Governor Beshear.
- Please take a moment to send a message urging the governor to VETO HB 11!
If enacted, this law would effectively make the state of Kentucky an enforcement arm of the Food and Drug Administration empowering state authorities to enforce the disastrous federal anti-vaping regulations. This would put independent vape shops out of business, hundreds of workers out of jobs, and thousands of people at risk of returning to smoking, or delaying attempts at quitting.
- Veto HB 11
- Tell the governor that this legislation is more about protecting Big Tobacco profits than improving public health and share your personal story about switching to vaping.
- HB 11 will close down hundreds of small businesses and put hundreds of workers out of a job.
- The state doesn’t need to carry water for the FDA by enforcing its disastrous anti-vaping regulations.
- FDA has arbitrarily denied marketing orders for nearly one million products and is failing to move forward with authorizing others.
- If HB 11 is enacted, consumers will only have access to a handful of products that have applications pending, or are authorized by FDA.
- Be brief, be kind, and say thank you 🙂
