Minnesota HF 2402 (an omnibus health bill that would ban vaping in MN state government buildings, would require child proof packaging on e-cig products, and would ban e-cig sales in vending machines and mall kiosks)
https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?f=HF2402&y=2014&ssn=0&b=senate
was substituted in the Senate for nearly identical SF 2087

Then the MN Senate approved HF 2402.

Today, the MN House voted against concurrence on HF 2402, and then House and Senate Conference Committee members were appointed (to work out a deal on the bill's language, which appears to be a disagreement over one or two sentences unrelated to vaping or e-cigs).
