Inhaling drugs or other noxious chemical substances, etc.; distribution of nitrous oxide.

New subsection C prohibits selling or distributing devices designed to deliver nitrous oxide to anyone under 18 years of age.

Added exemptions for denatured nitrous oxide products and businesses selling industrial/medical compressed gases or catering supplies.

New penalty for failing to make diligent inquiry about a buyer's age, defined as checking valid photo identification.

Updated section title to reflect the new nitrous oxide distribution provisions and added definition for 'diligent inquiry'.

Removed House Committee formatting and replaced with Joint Conference Committee formatting.

The document format changed from an enrolled bill to a House substitute amendment version, with different header information and page numbering.

The bill text is incomplete in the substitute version, cutting off mid-sentence in subsection A regarding intoxication purposes.

The enrolled version's header information about the 2025 session and Virginia Acts of Assembly chapter was removed in the substitute version.

Formatting and spacing were adjusted to conform to official enrolled bill standards, including adding the 'ENROLLED' header and bill number.

Exemption language for nitrous oxide devices was refined to more clearly specify that the exemption applies to devices containing denatured nitrous oxide, rather than the nitrous oxide itself.

The list of exempt businesses was reorganized to clarify that catering supplies, food processing equipment, and compressed gases for industrial or medical use are covered under a single exemption category.

Changed the prohibited device definition from 'solely contains nitrous oxide' to 'is designed or intended to deliver a gas containing nitrous oxide' to prevent circumvention through gas mixing.
