On February 28, 2025, World Trade Organization (WTO) circulated a notification regarding the repeal of Rhode Island's regulation on the licensing of Electronic Nicotine-Delivery System (ENDS) distributors and dealers (216-RICR-50-15-6). This repeal stems from statutory amendments that removed the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) from the licensing process, rendering these regulations unnecessary.
The regulatory analysis considered alternative approaches, potential overlaps or duplications with other statutory provisions, and the economic impact on small businesses. No alternative approaches, overlaps, or duplications were identified. RIDOH concluded that the benefits of repealing this regulation justify its costs.
WTO members and stakeholders can submit comments to the USA TBT Enquiry Point by 4 PM Eastern Time on March 26, 2025.
