Bill > HF1753

This bill modifies Minnesota's existing law regarding the sale of tobacco products from movable places of business by creating a specific exception for premium cigar sales. Currently, selling tobacco products from non-permanent locations like kiosks or vehicles is prohibited. The new provision allows a person who has held a distributor license for at least five consecutive years to sell premium cigars from a movable place of business, with certain conditions. The licensee can also provide on-site demonstrations of premium cigar manufacturing and cultural education. To qualify, the business must pay all applicable taxes, cannot sell any tobacco products other than premium cigars, and does not need to obtain a separate license for the movable business location. This exemption aims to provide a narrow pathway for certain long-established tobacco distributors to sell and showcase premium cigars in mobile settings, while maintaining restrictions on broader tobacco product sales from non-permanent locations.
