Nicotine-adjacent product; define and prohibit the sale to persons under 21 years of age.
HB 1151 bans the sale of "nicotine-adjacent products" (defined as specific non-tobacco products like 6-methylnicotine and nicotinamide) to anyone under 21 years old. It requires retailers to verify age using government ID for in-person sales or third-party online verification. The bill also prohibits sales within 1,500 feet of schools and 1,000 feet of parks, churches, or youth centers, with enhanced penalties for violations near these locations. Retailers face escalating fines ($250-$1,000 per offense) for selling these products to minors, including tripled penalties if the product contains controlled substances.
