House Bill 525, sponsored by Scarbrough, amends Tennessee Code Annotated by urging the Department of Agriculture to study the effects of vapor products on individuals under the age of twenty-one. The bill specifically calls for an examination of the sale and distribution of these products to minors, as well as their usage by this age group. Furthermore, the Department is encouraged to provide recommendations to the legislature aimed at reducing the sale, distribution, and use of vapor products among young people.

The bill replaces the existing language in Section 39-17-1513 with this new directive, emphasizing the importance of addressing the potential risks associated with vapor products for minors. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting the urgency of the issue at hand.
