Bill Summary

This bill prohibits the delivery of electronic smoking devices to individuals under the age of 21. Under the bill, it is unlawful to deliver an electronic smoking device or tobacco product to a residence without first obtaining, upon delivery, the signature of an individual who is at least 21 years and who resides in that residence. A person who violates the provisions of the bill is to be subject to the civil and criminal penalties that apply to individuals who sell or furnish tobacco products and electronic smoking devices to persons under 21 years of age. The bill provides that the prohibition on the delivery of tobacco products and electronic smoking devices to individuals under the age of 21 is not to apply to an individual performing his or her assigned duties as an employee of the United States Postal Service.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits the delivery of electronic smoking devices and tobacco products to individuals under the age of 21, unless the delivery is performed by a United States Postal Service employee in the course of their duties.

Violations of this law will result in civil and criminal penalties similar to those for selling or providing such products to minors.
