This bill would temporarily pause a 2024 Kentucky law regulating nicotine products, putting it on hold unless and until the U.S. Supreme Court issues a specific ruling in a pending federal case about FDA authority over certain nicotine products. The pause would be applied retroactively to January 1, 2025, and takes effect as an emergency measure, meaning it would go into force immediately if passed. Who it may affect: businesses that sell or distribute nicotine products, and Kentucky residents who use those products.
