HB 2027 -- Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement Sponsor: Diehl This bill changes the requirements when funds can be released from escrow accounts under the Master Settlement Agreement. Funds can be released to the extent a tobacco manufacturer establishes that the amount it was required to place into escrow based on units sold in Missouri in a particular year is greater than the payments from the agreement that the manufacturer would have been required to make based on the units sold if the manufacturer had been a participating manufacturer. The bill contains an emergency clause.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
