AN ACT CONCERNING THE ONLINE SALE AND DELIVERY OF
ELECTRONIC NICOTINE DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND VAPOR
PRODUCTS.
SUMMARY
This bill prohibits any person with a Department of Consumer
Protection-issued e-cigarette certificate or dealer registration from
selling or shipping more than two vapor products and 30 cartridges of
e-cigarette liquid in a 30-day period.
It requires a dealer authorized to sell e-cigarettes (i.e., electronic
nicotine delivery systems or vaping products) online and ship them
directly to a Connecticut consumer to do the following at the time of
sale:
1. (a) require the consumer to provide a copy of his or her valid
driver's license or identity card or (b) verify the consumer's
identity on a commercially available third-party database that
businesses use for age verification and
2. ensure that the name on the license or identity card, or verified
on the database, is identical to the name on the credit or debit
card or other payment method used for the purchase.
By law, the dealer must also (1) obtain the signature of a person
aged 21 or older at the address prior to delivery and after requiring the
signer to provide a driver's license or identification card as proof of age
and (2) include a shipping label on the package that conspicuously
states:
"CONTAINS AN ELECTRONIC NICOTINE DELIVERY SYSTEM OR
VAPOR PRODUCT – SIGNATURE OF A PERSON AGE 21 OR
OLDER REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY." 2021HB-06110-R000150-BA.DOCX
