HB 1252 -- Cigarette Taxes

Sponsor:  Lawson

This bill imposes an additional 35-cent tax on a pack of
cigarettes manufactured by a nonparticipating manufacturer.  The
term "nonparticipating manufacturer" is defined as any tobacco
product manufacturer that is not participating in the Master
Settlement Agreement.  The additional revenue generated from the
tax will be used for the administration of the state's tobacco
settlement agreement.

The provisions of the bill will expire six years from the
effective date.
