AI Summary
This bill amends Section 7455 of the Public Health Code to increase the penalties for selling or offering to sell nitrous oxide devices or drug paraphernalia to minors. Specifically, it creates a new misdemeanor offense punishable by up to 1 year in jail and a $7,500 fine for selling such items to a person under 18 years old. The existing misdemeanor penalty of up to 90 days in jail and a $5,000 fine remains for other violations of the drug paraphernalia law. The bill also includes provisions stating that it will take effect 90 days after being enacted and only if a related bill (Senate Bill 57) is also passed into law.
