What’s in it
AI summary New rules would treat nicotine and vapor products the same as tobacco products. These items would be taxed at a lower rate than other tobacco, and that money would go toward health care programs. Specifically, the funds would help pay for special courts for people with mental health or addiction issues and support programs to prevent tobacco use.1
Read the official explanation
This bill redefines alternative nicotine and vapor products as tobacco products, thereby making applicable to alternative nicotine and vapor products all provisions applicable to tobacco products with the exception of the rate of taxation of such products. Under the bill, these products are taxed at a reduced rate relative to other tobacco products at percent of the wholesale sales price or cost. Additionally, the revenue from the tax on these products is credited to the health care trust fund with the amount generated from percent of the rate to be used to fund civil and criminal specialty courts involving individuals with substance use disorder or mental health issues and with the amount generated from percent of the rate to be appropriated to the department of public health to be used for tobacco use prevention and control under Code chapter 142A. The bill makes conforming changes throughout the Code to redefine these products.
