Bill 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 years old. It removes distinctions based on age previously used for determining legal capacity and responsibilities, such as those related to support payments and certain legal obligations. The bill also aims to supersede older laws that treated 18-20 year olds differently, with exceptions for specific regulations like marijuana and tobacco laws. Passage of this bill is contingent on the enactment of several related bills.
