Bill > AB2076

This bill, known as The Parent’s Accountability and Child Protection Act, amends existing California law to include nitrous oxide among products that sellers must verify the age of the purchaser for, and it specifically prohibits online marketplaces from offering such products to California customers. An online marketplace is defined as a platform that facilitates third-party sales of consumer products, with an exception for platforms generating less than one billion dollars in gross revenue annually. Violations by businesses or persons other than online marketplaces are subject to a civil penalty of up to $7,500 per violation, while online marketplaces face a significantly higher penalty of up to $1,500,000 per violation. The bill also clarifies existing provisions regarding reasonable steps for age verification and defines "government-issued identification" for these purposes.
