This bill aims to enhance regulations surrounding the delivery of electronic smoking devices and tobacco products by prohibiting their delivery to individuals under 21 years of age. It establishes that no person may complete a delivery of these products to a residence without first obtaining the signature of a resident who is at least 21 years old. The bill also amends existing laws to include this requirement and clarifies that violations will be treated similarly to existing offenses related to the sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors.

Additionally, the bill outlines the penalties for violations, which include civil penalties ranging from $250 for the first offense to $1,000 for subsequent offenses. It also specifies that the prohibition does not apply to employees of the United States Postal Service performing their official duties. The Department of Health is authorized to adopt necessary regulations to implement the provisions of this act, which will take effect 180 days after its enactment.
