Item 1

 
Sec. 5. Initial certification due. Notwithstanding the Maine Revised
Statutes, Title 22, section 1580-L, subsections 2 and 3, the
initial certification required by those sections must be filed by
a tobacco product manufacturer 45 days after the effective date
of this Act.

 
Sec. 6. Availability of directory. No later than 90 days after the

SUMMARY

 
This bill repeals the existing law governing cigarette
distributor's responsibilities and enacts in its stead a new
subchapter of law that creates a certification process for
tobacco product manufacturers, a reporting requirement for
tobacco product distributors and wholesalers and a directory of
compliant tobacco product manufacturers.
