Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced a new provisional license Tuesday for tobacco, nicotine and vapor retailers across the state.
The temporary license applies to businesses that applied for a state license before January 1, allowing them to stay open while their applications are reviewed.
The move follows Senate Bill 100, which created new licensing requirements and tougher enforcement to prevent illegal sales and youth access.
The state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control filed an emergency regulation to prevent penalties during the transition. ABC officials urge retailers who haven’t applied yet to act quickly.
No provisional licenses will be issued after January 1.
