Indiana Call to Action - Stop the Monopoly

[Verb]

Some nice double speak in a newly introduced Indiana house bill. It claims to fix the monopoly; while, maintaining most of it. There was already a Senate bill introduced that appears to actually make meaningful changes.

Senator Heads bill will be addressed first. If he prevails then Mahan’s bill will go down the toilet where it belongs.

It would be Nice if Mahan was holding onto his bill when that Happens.

 

[Hoosier]

Mahan ran unopposed last election...

He seems to hate the Hoosier Vapers even though we don't point out that hard drug use skyrocketed during his term as sheriff of Blackford county.

I'm I reading this Correctly?

Someone in Position of Power actually applied some Common sense to this Indiana Train Wreck?

 

[pennysmalls]

Yes, and the language in the decision shows the judge thought all of this was very underhanded! Here's to hoping the FBI reads it!

 

[Lessifer]

I'm a little confused, does this only apply to out of state manufacturers? Are in-state manufacturers still required to abide by the law?

 

[pennysmalls]

Hoosier how does this affect local vape shops? Are they now allowed to purchase from out of state as well?

 

[pennysmalls]

We were typing at the same time Lessifer. That's what I'm wondering. There was a comment on Facebook posted by HoosierVapers that the law still applies to Indiana but this order may have just created a loophole. Loophole comment is mine, not Hoosier Vapers.

 

[AngiBe]

Ya, still confused on what this ruling is and if we can buy juice via internet sales/out of state or not

 

[zoiDman]

I'm not sure how much New Information is in this Article?

But the IndyStar just published it about 45 Minutes ago.

Federal court finds part of vaping law unconstitutional

 

[DC2]

Federal court finds part of vaping law unconstitutional

So they find part of it unconstitutional.

The next step is to find the rest of it utterly corrupt.
And then comes jail time.

As I am Reading the Ruling, not being a Lawyer, it looks like some of the In-State Requirements that were attempted to be Applied to Out of State (OOS) companies has be found to be Unconstitutional.

So from a Lay Point of view, this would Open Up OOS Companies/Retailers to Indiana Vapers.

I'm sure some More Knowledgeable will chime in in the coming days to Explain just what the Outcome with be.

 

[Rossum]

I like this part of the court's decision:

The astoundingly specific provisions for the qualifications of the security firm that the manufacturer must commit to hire for at least five years raise still more questions that go well beyond the Commerce
Clause.
[...]
These circumstances raise obvious concerns about protectionist purposes and what looks very much like a legislative grant of a monopoly to one favored in-state company in the security business.

Tell me those judges aren't practically begging to have someone bring a case brought before them on that basis?

Maybe a New US Attorney General would consider doing this?

 

[Max-83]

Don't know bout that Zoid. Not sure the new administration would want the new Attorney General investigating a possibly corrupt law the new Vice President signed into law while at his last job

Yeah... My question was kinda a Thinly Veiled comment on what is Wrong with the Politicalized Judicial System in our country.

 

[pennysmalls]

If it does come to that and Pence gets hammered by this, he has no one to blame.

Watched a live video on Hoosier Vapers facebook last night and they're asking that everyone have patience, that the attorney's are combing through the ruling and they'll post what it all means for us in the days ahead.
