FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO):An Indiana Vaping trade and consumer advocacy group has filed a lawsuit to block a law that is set to take effect next July.

The law passed this year sets several new regulations for the makers of E-liquids.The new law will require stores that make their own e-liquids to have specific security standards at their place of business.

Hoosier Vapers chairman Evan McMahon says security companies like A-D-T and Siemens have said they cannot meet those standards–and without that security, individual stores will not qualify for the state’s new license standards. And McMahon says the law sets a deadline of June 30th for all permits to be issued for e-liquid manufacturers that plan to operate in Indiana.

McMahon says 95% of the e-liquid industry is mom and pop shops that make the liquids for e-cigarettes. He predicts the law will put many of them out of business, and eliminate about 2500 jobs. It’s unknown when the lawsuit will get its first review.
