Summary

SB 1314 creates new rules for smoke shops: they must be at least 600 feet from schools or daycares, can sell tobacco only between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., and may not possess or sell nitrous‑oxide or related gear. It also adds higher civil penalties and license‑suspension triggers for repeated violations. The changes target retailers that sell tobacco and related products, aiming to reduce youth exposure.
