Rep. B. NEWTON proposes the following amendment (LC-287.VR0005H):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 1, by striking Section 44-95-65(AA) and inserting:

 (AA) A retailer must utilize commercially available age verification software to scan a state or federal issued identification in order to verify the purchaser of an ENDS product is eighteen years of age or older. It is unlawful to sell an ENDS product to an individual who does not present, upon demand, proper proof of age. Failure to demand identification to verify an individual's age is not a defense to an action initiated pursuant to this subsection. Proof that is demanded, is shown, and reasonably is relied upon for the individual's proof of age is a defense to an action initiated pursuant to this subsection.

Renumber sections to conform.

Amend title to conform.
