Bill > SB1527

This bill amends Arizona law to: 1. Deposit 5 cents of each dollar from the tobacco tax and health care fund, as well as monies appropriated under a new provision, into the health research account for research on preventing and treating tobacco-related disease and addiction, and Alzheimer's disease. The first $5 million deposited each year will go to a statewide Alzheimer's disease research consortium. 2. Define "electronic smoking devices" and impose a 43% wholesale tax on them. 3. Allocate the monies collected from the electronic smoking device tax to the health research account, and exempt those monies from lapsing. The bill requires a two-thirds vote of the legislature to enact due to a constitutional provision.
