Bill Summary

AN ACT concerning taxation; relating to electronic cigarettes; increasing the tax on electronic cigarettes and crediting the increased revenue to the children's initiative fund; amending K.S.A. 79-3387 and 79-3399 and repealing the existing sections.

AI Summary

This bill increases the tax on electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, which are devices that heat a liquid to produce an aerosol, commonly referred to as vapor, that users inhale. Specifically, the bill raises the tax rate from $0.05 to $0.15 per milliliter of "consumable material," which is defined as any liquid or other substance that is used up as an e-cigarette is operated. The revenue generated from this increased tax will be directed to the children's initiative fund, a fund established to support programs for children. The bill also amends existing laws to reflect these changes and repeals the previous versions of the sections being modified.
