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).

SB 653 amends Michigan's Age of Majority Act to clarify that the law does not apply to the Nicotine and Tobacco Act, which sets the legal age for purchasing tobacco products at 21. This change ensures that the state's general adult age of 18 does not conflict with specific tobacco regulations that restrict sales to individuals 21 and older. The bill directly affects tobacco retailers and consumers by maintaining the existing 21-year-old age limit for tobacco purchases despite the broader shift in the age of majority. It achieves this by explicitly listing the Nicotine and Tobacco Act as an exception to the provisions that would otherwise treat 18-year-olds as adults for all legal purposes.
