Tobacco: other; reference to 1915 PA 31 in the age of majority act of 1971; revise. Amends secs. 2 & 3 of 1971 PA 79 (MCL 722.52 & 722.53).
This bill amends Michigan's Age of Majority Act to clarify that the state's minimum age for purchasing tobacco products remains 21, even though the general legal age of adulthood was lowered to 18. By explicitly referencing the Nicotine and Tobacco Act, the legislation ensures that laws restricting tobacco sales to individuals under 21 continue to apply without conflict with other provisions granting adults 18 and older full legal rights. The bill does not change the age limit for buying tobacco but rather updates the legal code to maintain this specific restriction alongside the broader reduction in the age of majority.
