Overview
The Resources To Prevent Youth Vaping Act increases user fees for tobacco products, particularly those deemed subject to FDA regulation. Initially, fees will rise through 2026, then adjust based on the Consumer Price Index. The bill expands the application of these fees to all classes of tobacco products, with a new formula for allocating fees to those not initially included, based on sales data. It also requires manufacturers to submit detailed sales information and establishes reporting requirements for the Food and Drug Administration regarding how user fees are spent on tobacco regulation activities.
