S.T.O.P. Illicit Vapes Act

This bill would create a federal task force, starting 30 days after it becomes law, to fight the illegal importation, distribution, and sale of e-cigarettes. The Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human Services would lead it, with members from agencies including the FDA, Customs and Border Protection, the ATF, the FBI, the Postal Inspection Service, and the Federal Trade Commission. The task force would build a strategy to reduce unauthorized e-cigarettes on the market and would meet at least once every 30 days. It would report to certain committees of Congress twice a year on agency enforcement actions and recommendations for new legal authorities. The task force would end 10 years after it is set up.
