This bill amends existing law to prohibit licensees from using their premises for illegal activities and mandates compliance with regulations concerning the inhalation of toxic vapors. Specifically, it repeals and reenacts RSA 179:50, which now includes provisions that disallow licensees from selling, distributing, or offering nitrous oxide devices, canisters, cartridges, or receptacles, with the exception of nitrous oxide contained in food products for use as a propellant. Violations of these provisions will be enforced by the liquor commission, and a second offense related to inhaling toxic vapors will result in the revocation of the license.

The bill also establishes that the penalties for violations will be determined by the commission according to rules adopted under RSA 541-A. The effective date for this act is set for January 1, 2027. The fiscal impact of the bill is indeterminable, as it may affect the judicial and correctional systems, potentially influencing costs related to prosecution, incarceration, probation, and parole for the state and local governments.
