AB 2076: The Parent’s Accountability and Child Protection Act: online marketplaces: nitrous oxide.

This bill amends the law to prohibit online sellers from selling nitrous oxide to minors. To prevent this, online sellers are required to verify the age of the purchaser. The bill also restricts the use of gift cards for products that are illegal to sell to minors. If an online seller violates these provisions, they may be subject to a civil penalty of up to $250,000, which can be increased to deter future violations. The bill allows courts to impose this higher penalty on businesses with annual gross revenues exceeding $25 million.
