Bill > H1553

This bill aims to regulate the sale and purchase of butane and propane. It defines "butane" and "propane" as products with a weight of 5 pounds or less that have those substances as their main components, excluding products where they are secondary components or propellants. The bill prohibits the sale or provision of these products to individuals under 18 years of age, except in certain cases where a parent, guardian, or adult instructor is involved. Violations of this prohibition can result in fines. The bill also penalizes individuals who misrepresent their age or falsify identification to purchase these products. Sellers who reasonably rely on valid forms of identification are presumed to have exercised due care and are not liable under the bill.
