What has not happened
the Assembly dashboard lists Bill 208 as referred to committee and does not show passage, Royal Assent, or a coming-into-force date. Consumers should not be left with the impression that the law has already changed.
What consumers need
- A plain-language legal seller checklist.
- Report links for suspected illegal supply.
- A note explaining that Bill 208 remains in committee.
- Clear age and ID expectations.
The risk of silence
AGLC warns that contraband products can lack required tax stamps, warnings, and regulatory oversight on its contraband information page. Confusion gives unaccountable sellers more room.
