The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 491, aims to establish a grant program to support efforts in ceasing the sale of tobacco and nicotine products. The bill specifically targets convenience stores, gas stations, and other retail establishments that agree to stop selling these products. The introduction of this grant program is intended to incentivize retailers to participate in tobacco and nicotine cessation efforts, thereby promoting public health.

The legal language of the bill includes the insertion of provisions to create the grant program, while there are no deletions from current law noted in the text. The overall goal of the bill is to enhance public health initiatives by reducing the availability of tobacco and nicotine products in retail settings.
