HB 1514 -- Sales of Cigarettes

Sponsor:  Taylor

This bill places restrictions on the sale of cigarettes which are
subsequently mailed or shipped to the consumer.

The bill requires the seller to obtain from the consumer, prior
to shipping or mailing the cigarettes, certification of age and
to provide the consumer with information clearly stating the age
requirements for the purchase of cigarettes.

Additional provisions require the payment of the state cigarette
tax by the person receiving the mail order cigarettes, a
statement of mail order sales to be filed with the Division of
Alcohol and Tobacco within the Department of Public Safety, and a
signature of acceptance by the service that delivers the mail
order cigarettes.

Various penalties are established for failure to comply with the
provisions of the bill.
