House Bill 525, also known as Senate Bill 638, 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 emphasizes the importance of understanding the sale and distribution of these products to minors and encourages the department to provide recommendations to the legislature aimed at reducing such activities.
The key change in the bill involves the deletion of the existing section in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-17-1513, and its replacement with the new language that focuses on the study and recommendations regarding vapor products. This act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting the urgency of addressing the issue for public welfare.
