Senate Bill 2066 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 67-4-1025(f), to establish a new allocation for revenue generated from taxes on vapor products. The bill mandates that thirty percent (30%) of this tax revenue be deposited with the state treasurer and distributed equally among counties. The allocated funds are designated for youth nicotine prevention programs and services, aiming to address the growing concern of nicotine use among young people.

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, ensuring that the provisions for funding youth prevention initiatives are in place to combat nicotine addiction in the state. This legislative change reflects a commitment to public health and the welfare of Tennessee's youth.
