AI Summary

This bill, titled the Prohibition of Nicotine Sales Near Schools Act, mandates that by January 1, 2027, all municipalities and counties must establish regulations for the retail sale of nicotine-containing products, defined as any product containing nicotine in any form, within 1,000 feet of schools and day care centers, with day care centers specifically excluding day care homes. If a municipality or county fails to comply by this deadline, the Department of Revenue will oversee these sales and may deny licenses to retailers selling nicotine-containing products near schools or day care centers in non-compliant areas, though existing establishments in operation before January 1, 2027, can renew their licenses if the nearby school principal or day care owner does not object in writing. The bill also limits the home rule powers of local governments, preventing them from enacting less restrictive regulations than those required by this Act, and it takes effect immediately.
