The bill amends the Youth Tobacco Act (1915 PA 31) by adding a new section, 1i, which provides specific exemptions from the licensure requirements for individuals who have previously sold nicotine or tobacco products at retail. To qualify for this exemption, individuals must file an affidavit with the department affirming that they lawfully sold these products before the effective date of the amendment, have submitted a pending application for licensure, and have not yet been granted a license.

Additionally, the exemption is temporary and will expire once the individual's application for licensure is no longer pending approval from the department. The enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 462 from the 103rd Legislature.
