SB 652 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Tobacco: other; reference to 1915 PA 31 in the age of majority act of 1971; revise. Amends secs. 2 & 3 of 1971 PA 79 (MCL 722.52 & 722.53).

This bill updates the Age of Majority Act to clarify that the age of 18 applies to all legal purposes, except for specific areas like child support and tobacco regulations. It explicitly states that laws requiring individuals aged 18 to 20 to be treated differently than those 21 or older are no longer valid, with the notable exception of the Nicotine and Tobacco Act which maintains a minimum age of 21 for purchasing tobacco products. The legislation also removes previous legal distinctions for 18-to-20-year-olds in various other state statutes, effectively aligning their rights and responsibilities with those of adults aged 21 and older in most contexts.
