unlawful use; sale; laughing gas
HB 2191 regulates the sale and use of inhalants containing toxic chemicals, such as nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") and aerosol paints/glues. It prohibits possession, inhalation, or sale of these substances to minors under 18, requires retailers to record purchaser details and store products securely, and classifies violations as felonies (with possible misdemeanor reductions). The law exempts medical/industrial use (e.g., food propellants, automotive applications) and parental transfers to children. It directly affects retailers selling such products, minors, and individuals using inhalants, with penalties including up to 1 year in jail for first offenses.
