STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 15881
This proposed legislation clarifies that the term "stamping
agent", under Idaho's Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement
Complementary Act ("the Complementary Act"), includes those
persons who pay the tobacco tax on roll-your-own tobacco. The
intent of the Complementary Act is to require stamping agents to
report to the Attorney General, quarterly, all cigarette and
roll-your-own tobacco sales. The present definition of "stamping
agent" speaks in terms of those persons who affix Idaho's
cigarette tax stamp but does not address those persons who pay
tobacco taxes on roll-your-own tobacco but do so without affixing
a cigarette tax stamp. The amended language will make sure that
all appropriate parties report their cigarette and roll-your-own
sales as required by the Complementary Act.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund.
