AI Summary

This bill establishes a minimum age requirement of 21 years old for entry into cannabis-related events, conferences, forums, and exhibitions held in Massachusetts, with some exceptions for youth prevention and educational programs. Event organizers who fail to comply with this requirement can be fined up to $2,000, but they can avoid penalties if they reasonably rely on certain forms of identification, such as a driver's license or passport, to verify a person's age.
