  This legislation amends current law to extend the current
  cigarette tax rate of 57 cents per pack through June 30,
  2007.  On July 1, 2007, the tax rate would revert to 28
  cents per pack.  The legislation also specifies the
  distribution of the revenues from the cigarette tax.
       

                         FISCAL NOTE
                         
  This legislation will have a negative impact on the General
  Fund of approximately $8M dollars.  However, the
  distribution formula in the legislation will distribute
  approximately $30.1M dollars to the state Economic Recovery
  Reserve Fund.  The legislature will decide the distribution
  of monies in that fund, which may include distributions to
  the General Fund.
