Beginning 1/1/2027, requires retailers engaged in the retail sale of tobacco products to display signage on lung cancer screening at each point of sale and provide written notice on lung cancer screening to each buyer of a tobacco product.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Health to create educational materials about lung cancer screening, including information on who is eligible, where to get screened, and the benefits of early detection, by December 31, 2026. These materials will also be used for signage and written notices that retailers selling tobacco products must provide to customers. Starting January 1, 2027, all retailers of tobacco products will be mandated to display this signage at every point of sale and give a written notice about lung cancer screening to each buyer, with the understanding that federal law will supersede any conflicting provisions in this bill. The bill also makes some organizational changes to existing statutes related to tobacco products, reclassifying certain sections as "subpart A" and "subpart B" and clarifying that the exemptions within this subpart apply to specific situations involving minors and law enforcement activities.
