This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 297F.01, to modify the definitions of "moist snuff" and "tobacco products." The definition of "moist snuff" is updated to clarify that it refers to any finely cut, ground, or powdered smokeless tobacco that is dipped in the mouth, removing the previous language that included "or similar product containing nicotine." Additionally, the definition of "tobacco products" is expanded to include any product containing, made, or derived from tobacco intended for human consumption, while explicitly excluding cigarettes. The bill also specifies that tobacco products include nicotine solution products that have been approved by the FDA for sale as tobacco cessation or dependence products.

Both sections of the bill will take effect on July 1, 2025. The amendments aim to provide clearer definitions within the state's tobacco taxation laws, ensuring that the regulations are up-to-date with current products and their intended uses.
