Bill Summary
Relative to defining child-resistant packaging of liquid nicotine containers and establishing civil penalties for violations. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill requires that all liquid nicotine containers sold, distributed, or imported in Massachusetts must have child-resistant packaging, which meets the federal standards for packaging intended to reduce the risk of children ingesting nicotine. Violations of this requirement will result in civil penalties, with fines of $250 for a first offense, $500 for a second offense, and $1,000 for a third or subsequent offense. The bill gives local health departments and inspectors the authority to enforce these requirements through non-criminal enforcement.
