The bill amends the Youth Tobacco Act of 1915 by adding a new section, 1m, which provides an exemption from the licensure requirements for certain individuals selling nicotine or tobacco products at retail. To qualify for this exemption, a person must file an affidavit with the department affirming that they lawfully sold such products before the effective date of the amendment, have submitted a pending application for a license, and have not yet been granted a license. This exemption will expire once the application is no longer pending.

Additionally, the enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of several other specified bills from the 103rd Legislature. These include Senate Bill No. 463, Senate Bill No. 464, Senate Bill No. 465, and Senate Bill No. 466, indicating that the implementation of this bill is part of a broader legislative effort.
