The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, specifically section 297F.01, to modify the definitions of "moist snuff" and "tobacco products." The definition of "moist snuff" is updated to include any finely cut, ground, or powdered smokeless tobacco, or similar product containing nicotine that is dipped in the mouth. Additionally, the definition of "tobacco products" is expanded to include nicotine solution products and moist snuff, while also clarifying that it does not encompass cigarettes as defined in the statute.
Both amendments will take effect on July 1, 2024. The changes aim to provide clearer definitions within the context of tobacco taxation and regulation, ensuring that various forms of tobacco and nicotine products are accurately categorized for legal and tax purposes.
