Graffiti Information
 Notice to all paint retailers
Keeping spray paint out of the hands of youth helps eliminate graffiti. Minnesota law (MSA 609.684) prohibits the sale of spray paint to persons under the age of 18. The statute also states in Subdivision 4. Notice required. (a) A business establishment that offers for sale at retail, any toxic substance must display a conspicuous sign that contains the following, or substantially similar language:
Notice
It is unlawful for a person to sell glue, cement, or aerosol paint containing intoxicating substances, to a person under 18 years of age, except as provided by law. This offense is a misdemeanor. It is also a misdemeanor for a person to use or possess glue, cement, or aerosol paint, with the intent of inducing intoxication, excitement, or stupefaction of the central nervous system. This can be harmful or fatal.
