HB 1059 increases the maximum fine for selling vapor products to individuals under 21 from $50 to $500. This amendment to Tennessee law specifically targets retailers who violate age restrictions under Section 39-17-1504(a), making such sales a Class C misdemeanor. The bill directly affects businesses selling vapor products, imposing a higher financial penalty for underage sales. The change takes effect July 1, 2025, applying to offenses committed on or after that date. This is a straightforward policy adjustment to strengthen penalties for underage sales of vapor products.
