Introduced·2/3/25

Oklahoma SB936 modifies fines for selling tobacco and vapor products to minors, including store owners.

Oklahoma SB936 amends the Prevention of Youth Access to Tobacco Act by modifying fines for selling tobacco, nicotine, or vapor products to minors. It holds store owners liable for fines if violations occur before an employee's employment or at a different location. The bill also updates fines for employees and store owners, with escalating penalties for repeat offenses. If a store owner fails to pay fines, their license or sales tax permit may be suspended. Municipal ordinances can enforce these provisions, provided they align with state law.
