Overview
This bill amends the 1971 Age of Majority Act to lower the age at which a person is considered an adult for legal purposes to 18, effective January 1, 1972. It revises existing laws to align with this change, superseding previous laws that treated individuals aged 18-20 differently from those aged 21 and older. The bill clarifies that support payments can be ordered for individuals 18 years of age or older under specific circumstances outlined in several state acts. It also specifies that this act does not apply to regulations regarding marihuana or tobacco products.
