Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment delays the effective date for permitting the State Tax Assessor to recognize a credit for tobacco products taxes previously paid and to redeem cigarette tax stamps for tobacco products that are destroyed by a distributor because the products have become unfit for use, sale or consumption.  This will eliminate the fiscal year 2011-12 General Fund revenue loss of $40,000.
