Bill > HB1144

This bill imposes a 5-cent tax per milliliter on the sale and use of e-cigarette vapor products in Texas. The tax proceeds will be deposited into the general revenue fund and appropriated to the Health and Human Services Commission to provide health benefits coverage under the state's child health plan program. The bill defines key terms like "e-cigarette" and "vapor product," and it outlines the administrative and reporting requirements for the new taxes, which will be collected and enforced in the same manner as the state's sales and use taxes.
