Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

35 ILCS 130/2a new

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Cigarette Tax Act. Provides that an equity assessment, in the amount of 25 mills per cigarette, is imposed on each package of nonparticipating-manufacturer cigarettes to which a person affixes a stamp or imprint as required under existing law. Provides that a "nonparticipating manufacturer" is a tobacco manufacturer that is not participating in the master settlement agreement entered into with respect to certain tobacco-related litigation. Sets forth payment procedures and penalties for violations. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Removes language that states that, except as otherwise provided, the assessment shall be collected, paid, administered, and enforced in the same manner as the tax on cigarettes under the Act.

House Amendment No. 1
Deletes provisions that one of the purposes of the non-participating manufacturer equity assessment is to protect funding, reduced by the growth of nonparticipating-manufacturer cigarette sales, for certain programs funded by payments to the State under the Master Settlement Agreement and to recoup settlement-payment revenue lost to the State as a result of nonparticipating-manufacturer sales. Requires the Department of Revenue to grant a credit to any nonparticipating manufacturer for annual amounts placed into a qualified escrow fund.
