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 updates the Age of Majority Act to clarify that its provisions do not apply to the Youth Nicotine and Tobacco Act, which keeps the legal age for purchasing tobacco products at 21. By explicitly excluding tobacco regulations from the general definition of adulthood, the legislation ensures that the age limit for buying tobacco remains consistent with current state law. The change affects individuals aged 18 to 20 by maintaining existing restrictions on tobacco sales while they gain full legal rights in other areas.
