Not sure what problem this is supposed to solve. People younger than 18 go camping or live in areas that require bear spray.

The one incident the article referenced involved a 23 year old man who was later arrested.

How would this change have prevented/resolved that incident?

I purchased bear spray last year. I had to sign a sheet with my name at the “gun counter” (I have thought of it like this as a kid) and it included basic contact info but the person did not verify the info.

I offered to show my ID and was told it would be checked when I paid for the bear spray.

When I picked up the bear spray at the customer service counter to pay, my ID was not checked.

I am not a teenager or someone who “looks like a criminal” but I would have thought they could at least verify my info. Anyway, hopefully this regulation helps.
