05.14.25 – Hearing: House Judiciary; Vote 25Y/1N; Reported as Committed
05.07.25 – Referred to H. Judiciary
A bill (HB 1425) known to advocates as “PMTA Registry” legislation has passed out of the House Judiciary Committee and is moving toward a vote by the full House.
If enacted, this law would effectively make the state of Pennsylvania an enforcement arm of cigarette companies and the Food and Drug Administration, empowering state authorities to enforce the disastrous federal anti-vaping regulations. This would put hundreds of independent vape shops out of business, hundreds of workers out of jobs, and thousands of Pennsylvania residents at risk of returning to smoking, or delaying attempts at quitting.
Please take a minute to send an email to your lawmakers urging them to oppose HB 1425!
- Tell your lawmakers that this legislation is more about protecting Big Tobacco profits than improving public health and share your personal story about switching to vaping.
- HB 1425 will close down small businesses and put hundreds of workers out of a job.
- The state of Pennsylvania doesn’t need to carry water for the FDA by enforcing its disastrous anti-vaping regulations.
- FDA has arbitrarily denied marketing orders for more than 1 million products and is failing to move forward with authorizing enough products to meet demand.
- If HB 1425 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 🙂
