The bill amends the Youth Tobacco Act of 1915 by adding a new section (1p) that allows licensed vendors to sell nicotine or tobacco products and accessories at locations outside their establishments, specifically at fairs, festivals, or farmers' markets. To ensure compliance, the bill outlines several conditions that must be met during these sales, including the requirement for the licensee to prominently display their certificate of licensure and a specific sign related to tobacco sales within close proximity to the point of sale.
Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for violations of these conditions, with a $50 administrative fine for failing to display the licensure certificate and a fine of up to $2,500 for not displaying the required sign. The enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the passage of several other specified bills in the 103rd Legislature.
