This bill amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically addressing the sale and illegal use of certain solvents and noxious substances. Key changes include the addition of a new subsection that prohibits the sale of these substances to minors if there is reasonable cause to suspect they will be misused. The bill also establishes that violating this provision is classified as a misdemeanor of the second degree. Additionally, it modifies the grading of offenses related to the sale and use of these substances, stating that violations of other provisions will now be classified as misdemeanors of the third degree.

The bill retains existing exceptions for the inhalation of anesthesia for medical or dental purposes and clarifies the prohibitions on possession and sale of noxious substances. The language regarding the application of these prohibitions has been streamlined by removing references to "this section" in certain subsections. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance regulations surrounding the sale and use of potentially harmful substances, particularly in protecting minors from misuse.
