AI Summary

This bill seeks to establish the Health, Safety, and Wellbeing for Communities of Color Trust Fund, which would be funded by revenue from taxes on flavored tobacco products or other designated sources. The fund would be administered by the Commissioner of the Department of Public Health and used to support programs that address public health, safety, and wellbeing in communities of color, including tobacco, alcohol, and drug education; programs to address other public health issues; support for improvements in community policing; and housing issues. The bill also requires the Commissioner to report on the fund's activity and the health impact on communities of color during the period when the flavored tobacco products ban was suspended.
