Bill > HF1022

This bill modifies the definitions of moist snuff and tobacco products in Minnesota's tax code for tobacco products. Specifically, the bill removes language that defines moist snuff as a "product containing nicotine" and eliminates the explicit inclusion of moist snuff within the broader category of tobacco products. The changes appear to refine the technical definitions of these terms, potentially with implications for how different tobacco and nicotine products are classified and taxed. Both amendments will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing a clear transition period for businesses and regulatory agencies to adjust to the new definitions. The bill maintains the broad definition of tobacco products as items containing or derived from tobacco intended for human consumption through various methods, while making subtle but potentially significant changes to how specific product types are categorized under state law.
