HB5572

West Virginia HB5572 regulates vape and smoke shop locations, operating requirements, and property standards.

West Virginia HB5572, the Vape and Smoke Shop Location and Operating Requirements Act, establishes regulations for vape and smoke shops. It mandates that vape and smoke shops must be located at least 5,280 feet from schools, colleges, public parks, libraries, places of worship, and other vape/smoke shops. The bill also sets standards for signs, prohibiting certain types and limiting the size and projection. The county health department is responsible for administering and enforcing these regulations, including issuing permits, conducting inspections, and imposing fines for violations.
