1 AN ACT to amend the Sale of Tobacco to Minors Act by
2 changing Section 1.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Sale of Tobacco to Minors Act is amended
6 by changing Section 1 as follows:
7 (720 ILCS 675/1) (from Ch. 23, par. 2357)
8 Sec. 1. No minor under 18 years of age shall buy any
9 cigar, cigarette, smokeless tobacco or tobacco in any of its
10 forms. No person shall sell, buy for, distribute samples of
11 or furnish any cigar, cigarette, smokeless tobacco or tobacco
12 in any of its forms, to any minor under 18 years of age.
13 No person may sell, buy for, distribute samples of, or
14 furnish any cigar, cigarette, smokeless tobacco, or tobacco
15 in any of its forms, to any person 27 years of age or younger
16 without first demanding adequate written evidence of age and
17 identity of the person by the presentation of a document
18 issued by a federal, State, county, or municipal government,
19 or subdivision or agency of any of these governments
20 containing positive proof of the person's age and identity,
21 including, but not limited to, a drivers license, a
22 registration certificate issued under the Federal Selective
23 Service Act, or an identification card issued to a member of
24 the Armed Forces.
25 For the purpose of this Section, "smokeless tobacco"
26 means any tobacco products that are suitable for dipping or
27 chewing.
28 Tobacco products listed above may be sold through a
29 vending machine only in the following locations:
30 (1) Factories, businesses, offices, private clubs,

3 (3) Places where alcoholic beverages are sold and
4 consumed on the premises.

10 considered a sale of tobacco products by that person. As

12 the owner or employee has an unimpeded line of sight to
13 the vending machine.
14 (5) Places where the vending machine can only be
15 operated by the owner or an employee over age 18 either
16 directly or through a remote control device if the device
17 is inaccessible to all customers.
