AI Summary
This bill requires cigarette retailers in Minnesota to advertise lung cancer screening resources at the point of sale, such as where cigarettes are purchased. Specifically, retailers must display an advertisement that is clear, visible to customers, and provides direction to non-commercial screening resources through a website address, QR code, or similar method. The bill also includes an appropriation of an unspecified amount from the state's general fund to the Department of Health in fiscal year 2026 to support these point-of-sale lung cancer screening advertisements. By mandating these advertisements, the bill aims to raise awareness about lung cancer screening and potentially encourage smokers to seek early detection and medical guidance, which could help reduce lung cancer mortality rates by promoting proactive health screening.
