Bill > AB2358

This bill, titled The Parent’s Accountability and Child Protection Act, makes a minor, non-substantive change to existing law by amending Section 1798.99.1 of the Civil Code. The original law requires businesses selling products or services that are illegal for minors under state law to take reasonable steps to verify the purchaser's age at the time of sale or delivery. This bill simply clarifies that both "businesses" and "persons" are subject to these age verification requirements, ensuring a broader application of the consumer protection measure. The existing law already outlines various "reasonable steps" such as requiring government-issued identification, using non-prepaid credit cards for online purchases, or restricting minor accounts, and specifies a wide range of prohibited items including certain paints, fireworks, tanning services, and firearms.
