 Introduced by Sen. MARTINEZ -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 ture, and distribution of vapor products

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. Subdivisions 3 and 4 of section 1399-cc of the public
 2 health law, subdivision 3 as amended by chapter 100 of the laws of 2019
 3 and subdivision 4 as amended by chapter 542 of the laws of 2014, are
 4 amended to read as follows:
 5 3. Sale of tobacco products, herbal cigarettes, liquid nicotine,
 6 shisha or electronic cigarettes in such places, [other than] including
 7 by a vending machine, shall be made only to an individual who demon-
 8 strates, through (a) a valid driver's license or non-driver's identifi-
 9 cation card issued by the commissioner of motor vehicles, the federal
 10 government, any United States territory, commonwealth or possession, the
 11 District of Columbia, a state government within the United States or a

 13 issued by the United States government or any other country, or (c) an
 14 identification card issued by the armed forces of the United States,
 15 indicating that the individual is at least twenty-one years of age. Such
 16 identification need not be required of any individual who reasonably
 17 appears to be at least twenty-five years of age, provided, however, that
 18 such appearance shall not constitute a defense in any proceeding alleg-
 19 ing the sale of a tobacco product, herbal cigarettes, liquid nicotine,
 20 shisha or electronic cigarettes to an individual under twenty-one years
 21 of age.

 3 (b) In any instance where the information deciphered by the trans-
 4 action scan fails to match the information printed on the driver's
 5 license or non-driver identification card, or if the transaction scan
 6 indicates that the information is false or fraudulent, the attempted
 7 transaction shall be denied.
 8 (c) In any proceeding pursuant to section thirteen hundred ninety-
 9 nine-ee of this article, it shall be an affirmative defense that such
 10 person had produced a driver's license or non-driver identification card
 11 apparently issued by a governmental entity, successfully completed that
 12 transaction scan, and that the tobacco product, herbal cigarettes or
 13 liquid nicotine had been sold, delivered or given to such person in
 14 reasonable reliance upon such identification and transaction scan. In
 15 evaluating the applicability of such affirmative defense the commission-
