a. It shall be unlawful for a person to permit an individual under 21 years of age to enter a non-tobacco hookah establishment during operating hours. Entry into such non-tobacco hookah establishment shall be permitted only to an individual who demonstrates, through a driver's license or other photographic identification card issued by a government entity or educational institution, that the individual is at least 21 years of age. Such identification need not be required of any individual who reasonably appears to be at least 30 years of age, provided, however, that such appearance shall not constitute a defense in any proceeding alleging the granting of permission to enter such an establishment to an individual under 21 years of age.
b. Non-tobacco hookah establishments, as defined in section 17-502, shall clean and sanitize the interior of the bowl, stem, hose, base, and any other part of paraphernalia provided to customers for smoking non-tobacco smoking products, as defined in section 17-502, in accordance with rules promulgated by the department.
