Bill Summary
Relative to the sale and purchase of butane and propane. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 270 of the General Laws to regulate the sale and purchase of butane and propane. It prohibits the sale or provision of butane or propane to individuals under 18 years of age, except when a parent, guardian, or adult instructor is providing it to the minor. It imposes fines of at least $250 for the first violation and $500 for subsequent violations. The bill also provides that reasonable reliance on a valid form of identification, such as a driver's license or passport, will serve as a presumption of due care and shield the seller from liability.
