To clarify the minimum age for the sale of adult-use products or services

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill would prevent local governments from creating their own age restrictions for purchasing products or services, such as tobacco or alcohol, based on birth year. If passed, any existing local rules that ban sales to people born after a certain year would become invalid, and local authorities would not be allowed to make new ones. The state's minimum age requirements would be the only ones that apply.
