AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's criminal code by increasing the maximum fine for selling vapor products to individuals under 21 years old from $50 to $500. Specifically, the legislation modifies Section 39-17-1510 to establish that selling vapor products to someone under 21 is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $500, regardless of typical sentencing guidelines. The bill also clarifies that other violations related to vapor products under various sections of the Tennessee Code (such as those involving possession or distribution) remain Class C misdemeanors.
