Tobacco: other; criminal penalties and civil sanctions for minors that purchase, possess, or use tobacco products, vapor products, or alternative nicotine products; sunset. Amends title & secs. 1, 2 & 5 of 1915 PA 31 (MCL 722.641 et seq.).

This bill updates Michigan's Youth Tobacco Act to strengthen penalties for minors who purchase, possess, or use tobacco, vapor products, or alternative nicotine products. It establishes a tiered system of consequences, starting with a fine and community service for first offenses and increasing to higher fines and more hours of service for repeat violations. The law also allows courts to require minors who break these rules to participate in health promotion programs at their own expense. Additionally, the legislation includes a temporary exemption for retail workers who have not yet received a license but have applied for one, and it clarifies that these rules do not apply to minors working or conducting authorized law enforcement compliance checks.
