Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The bill's fiscal impact is unclear as the criminal penalties would appear to go to the police and not DHHR. There is no administrative structure or fund set up in the bill
The bill does not create an administrative license structure so the ability to fine businesses per a legislative rule is likely unconstitutional as there is also no appeal process in the bill.
The bill has several drafting deficiencies that will likely result in litigation by tobacco sellers against the State.
The bill also ignores W. Va. Code 60-9-1 et seq.
