What it does
The Strengthening Task Force Operations to Prevent Illicit Vapes Act (S.T.O.P. Illicit Vapes Act) would establish a federal multi-agency task force to combat the illegal importation, distribution, and sale of e-cigarettes. The task force, co-chaired by the Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, would include representatives from agencies such as the FDA, DOJ, CBP, ATF, USMS, USPIS, FTC, HSI, FBI, and others with relevant enforcement roles. It would be required to meet at least monthly, submit semiannual reports to specified congressional committees detailing enforcement actions and recommendations, and automatically terminate 10 years after its establishment.
