Session

Regular Session 2012

Title

Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, tobacco products, one-time nonrefundable filing fee for each permit and annual license fee, required, Sec. 28-11-7 am'd.

Summary

HB61 would require a $100 one-time filing fee for each tobacco permit and a $250 annual license fee for tobacco permits.

What This Bill Does

It would amend Section 28-11-7 to add a $100 nonrefundable filing fee with each tobacco permit application (including permits for each distribution location and each vending machine). It would maintain a $250 annual license fee that is due each year when the permit is renewed, with no filing fee required for renewals. It would apply these fees to tobacco distributors and vending machine locations, while preserving existing rules that permits are location-based and generally non-transferable. The bill keeps renewal procedures and transfer timelines as defined in current law.

Who It Affects

• Tobacco product distributors must obtain a permit for each distribution location and pay the $100 filing fee plus the $250 annual license fee.
• Operators of tobacco vending machines must obtain a permit for each machine location and would pay the same filing and license fees.

Key Provisions

• A one-time nonrefundable filing fee of $100 is required for each tobacco permit application (for distributors and for each tobacco vending machine location).
• An annual license fee of $250 is levied for each tobacco permit and is due when the permit is renewed; there is no filing fee for permit renewals.
