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. Additionally, the bill amends existing laws to include this delivery requirement and clarifies that violations will be treated similarly to existing offenses related to selling or furnishing tobacco products to minors.

The bill also outlines the penalties for violations, which include civil fines that escalate with repeated offenses. It specifies that the delivery prohibition does not apply to employees of the United States Postal Service performing their official duties. Furthermore, the bill allows the Department of Health to adopt necessary regulations to implement its provisions, and it will take effect 180 days after enactment.
