relative to the sale of tobacco products, e-cigarettes, devices, e-liquids, or alternative nicotine products.

HB 1315 imposes fines on individuals under 21 who violate tobacco and nicotine product laws. It directly affects minors (ages 12-20) who use, possess, or purchase these products in violation of existing regulations. The bill creates a civil penalty of up to $100 per offense, or up to 20 hours of community service, or mandatory education programs for underage violations. This replaces previous juvenile justice classifications for these offenses, treating them as minor violations rather than delinquency cases. The law takes effect January 1, 2027.
