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). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5370'25, HB 5372'25, HB 5368'25, HB 5369'25
HB 5371 clarifies that Michigan's 1915 tobacco law (MCL 722.641-722.645) remains unaffected by changes to the Age of Majority Act (1971 PA 79). It specifically states that the tobacco law is excluded from provisions in the Age of Majority Act that would otherwise supersede other age-related legal standards. This bill does not change tobacco regulations or voting rules - it only ensures the 1915 tobacco law continues to apply separately. The bill directly affects the legal framework governing tobacco sales and regulations in Michigan. It is a technical clarification, not a new policy change.
