The second provision in 11 section 27 of House File 517 is more complete, including 12 withdrawals of appeals by applicants. The first more 13 incomplete provision of the two is repealed. 14 Two sections of House File 517 amend Code section 724.22 15 relating to the supervised possession of a pistol or revolver 16 by a person under the age of 21. However, the immediate 17 effective date provision of the bill only recognizes that 18 one section of the bill amends Code section 724.22. Section 19 29 of the bill relates to civil liability and the commission 20 of child endangerment by a person supervising a person 21 under the age of 21. The amendment makes certain that all 22 amendments in House File 517 affecting Code sections 724.22 23 (supervision, liability, and child endangerment) and 726.6 24 (child endangerment) take effect upon the enactment of the bill 25 and apply retroactively to April 13, 2017. 26 VAPOR AND ALTERNATIVE NICOTINE PRODUCTS —— DELIVERY SALES 27 —— TAX.
