The House Health and Insurance Committee passed HB20-1001 with a 9-1 vote Wednesday night. Similar to new federal regulations, It would raise the consumption age for tobacco and nicotine to 21 with some additional regulations specific to Colorado. The bill states that after July 1 of 2021, all businesses that sell the products must be licensed with the state. This means retailers would be subject to compliance checks and complaint investigations. The bill also increases the fine for selling to minors \u2014 up to $15,000 for repeat offenders. One big change proponents of the bill are excited about is online regulation. The bill moves next to the Committee on Finance.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/denver.cbslocal.com\/2020\/02\/13\/colorado-bill-vaping-products-nicotine-underage-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colorado 4th Grader Shows Lawmakers How Easy It Is To Get Vaping Products<\/a><\/p>\n<p>COLORADO HB20-1001<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leg.colorado.gov\/bills\/hb20-1001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nicotine Product Regulation<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20COLORADO%20%5BTobacco%2021%20%2B%20Licensing%20%2B%20Online%20Sales%5D\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Colorado state lawmakers took the first step Wednesday night towards new regulations of nicotine and tobacco use in Colorado.
