Indiana lawmakers have thrown out old rules on vaping that ran afoul of the Constitution, piqued the interest of the FBI and raised eyebrows over ethics.

No longer, under legislation passed Friday night, can one security firm — Mulhaupt's Inc. in Lafayette — singlehandedly control the production of e-liquid.

Instead, the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission will review permits for manufacturing e-liquids.

On Friday, the House approved the measure 83-14, and the Senate passed it 45-5. The bill, which also lays out new requirements for e-liquid manufacturers and e-liquid sales, now heads to Gov. Eric Holcomb for consideration.

Other regulations include labeling products that contain nicotine and allowing online sales of e-liquids.

Manufacturers are also required to include child-proof caps on e-liquids, and retailers must verify that customers are 18 or older.

In January, a federal appeals court struck down part of the law regulating out-of-state production and sale of e-liquids used in vaping.

The law's unusual requirements also prompted the FBI to look into how the law was passed.

At least two lawmakers who voted for the legislation in 2015 and 2016 have since landed jobs in the industry.
