AI Summary

This bill establishes a minimum age requirement of 21 years old for entry into any marijuana-related event, forum, convention, or conference held in Massachusetts. The bill provides exceptions for youth marijuana use prevention programs, youth educational programs, and substance misuse programs related to marijuana use. Event organizers who fail to comply with the age requirement can be fined up to $2,000, but they are presumed to have acted with due care if they reasonably rely on certain forms of identification, such as a driver's license or passport, to verify a person's age and identity.
