Analysis
CSSB 15 will make selling to a minor or possession by a minor of electronic smoking products, or products containing
nicotine a criminal offense. This bill adds requirements for a business license endorsement for retailers of electronic
smoking products, or products containing nicotine" and adds electronic smoking products, or products containing
nicotine to the existing business license endorsement for retailers of tobacco products.
This legislation adds civil fines for violations of business licensing endorsement for electronic smoking products, or
products containing nicotine". This bill will add electronic smoking products, or products containing nicotine into existing
language for a business license endorsement (AS 11.76.109). This will require the court to notify the department upon a
conviction of an endorsement holder. This will increase the issuance of pertinent civil penalties, suspension of business
licensing endorsements, responses to requests for hearings, and will also be required to appropriately secure and store
seized items until they are released or appropriately destroyed based on the type of product.
CSSB 15 will increase the civil fines for violations of business licensing endorsements within a 24 month period for the first
offense from $0.3 to $1.0, the second offense from $0.5 to $2.0, and the third offense from $1.0 to $4.0. In addition, it will
allow for the indefinite suspension of a business license endorsement if convicted three or more times of business license
endorsement violations within a 24 month time period, and will increase that civil penalty from $2.5 to $10.0.
This legislation requires changes the warning signage the department must make available to a person who holds a
business license endorsement. It also requires a change to the CBPL database, warning signs, forms, online filing, websites,
investigations, and a regulation change. This committee substitute changes the required notice from two separate signs to
one combined sign, and changes the required minimum dimensions of those signs.
If the bill passes the following expenses will be incurred:
Services: $3.0 (legal costs to amend regulations, printing, and postage in the first year)
$1.0 ( IT services for system change)
$1.6 (printing and postage to mail new signage)
There will be legal and hearing service expense in out years, but costs are unknown.

licensing fees are set per AS 43.70, revenue in excess of authorized budgeted expenses reverts to the State of Alaska
