An Act relative to the sale of nitrous oxide

HD 5459 restricts the retail sale of nitrous oxide cartridges (like "whippets" or "cream chargers") to prevent recreational misuse while preserving access for legitimate culinary, medical, dental, and industrial uses. It requires authorized sellers (licensed culinary or medical supply businesses) to verify customers' age with ID, keep products out of public view, and maintain sales records for one year. The law prohibits sales to anyone under 21 for recreational use and mandates visible warning signs at point of sale. Violations carry civil penalties up to $1,000 per offense, with potential license suspension.
