Relating to the distribution of hookahs; creating a criminal offense.

HB 129 prohibits retailers, including bars, restaurants, and cafes that provide hookahs for on-site use, from selling or providing hookahs to individuals under 21 years old, with violations classified as a Class C misdemeanor. The bill also requires retailers to verify the age of all customers under 30 using valid identification, such as a driver's license, passport, or military ID, before selling or providing a hookah. Exceptions include when a customer is 18 or older and presents a valid military ID card. This law directly affects businesses selling hookahs and aims to restrict access for younger individuals through mandatory age verification.
