What it would do: Allows the name and address of an out-of-state purchaser to be placed on the largest unit of packaging when a tobacco product is shipped outside Michigan, in addition to or instead of on individual shipping cases or containers.

What it would do: Allows a nicotine or tobacco product licensee to sell at unlicensed locations like fairs, festivals, or farmers' markets if they display their license certificate and required signage within 6 feet of each point of sale.

What it would do: Amends the Youth Tobacco Act to sunset criminal penalties and civil sanctions for minors who purchase, possess, use, or misrepresent age for tobacco, vapor, or alternative nicotine products, effective upon enactment of four related bills.
