It mandates that retail establishments verify the age of buyers through government-issued identification and restricts access to these products to prevent unauthorized purchases. Delivery sellers, including online retailers, must ensure buyers are at least 18 years old and use age verification databases. The bill also allows for civil penalties of up to $1,000 for violations.
