For that reason, we are continuing our call to action and asking that, if you haven’t already, please click here to contact your state Assemblymen and tell them how important flavors are to you and your business.
We are rapidly nearing the end of the NY session. Even though we are looking good, our team on the ground does not want any let up.
And then this… One reason we are fully engaged to the bitter end is because of things like this. Yesterday, Senators tried to move SB 6076 on the Senate floor. The bill would have placed a 2% cap on nicotine content but only for e-liquids manufactured in the State of New York. This ill-conceived bill would have killed NY e-liquid manufacturers. VTA’s team immediately went to work lobbying the Senate sponsor, Senate members, as well as key Senate staff to have the bill held on the floor. Our lobbying team will continue to monitor this situation as well as educate members and staff on the unintended consequences on this bill and its impact on New York businesses and continue to work to have SB 6076 held on the Senate floor.
This is but another example of why we at VTA never give up and never let up. We’ve been through far too many of these battles in far too many states to do anything other than finish strong.
Thank you,
