EXPLANATION
3
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
4
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
5
This
bill
regulates
alternative
nicotine
products
and
vapor
6
products
and
imposes
taxes
upon
the
wholesale
sales
price
of
7
such
products,
and
makes
numerous
conforming
changes
to
Code
8
chapter
453A
(cigarettes
and
tobacco-related
products).
9
The
bill
defines
“nicotine
analog”
to
mean
a
substance
that
10
has
a
chemical
structure
that
is
substantially
similar
to
11
nicotine,
or
that
has
an
effect
on
the
central
nervous
system
12
that
is
substantially
similar
to,
or
greater
than,
the
effects
13
of
nicotine
on
the
central
nervous
system.
14
The
bill
adds
“nicotine
analog”
to
the
definitions
of
15
“alternative
nicotine
product”
and
“vapor
product”.
16
The
bill
imposes
a
tax
on
alternative
nicotine
and
17
vapor
products
upon
any
person
engaged
as
a
distributor
of
18
alternative
nicotine
products
and
vapor
products,
at
the
rate
19
of
10
percent
of
the
wholesale
sales
price
of
such
products.
20
In
the
alternative,
a
tax
is
imposed
on
the
use
or
storage
of
21
alternative
nicotine
and
vapor
products,
at
the
rate
of
10
22
percent
of
the
cost
of
such
products,
if
the
10
percent
tax
on
23
the
wholesale
sales
price
has
not
been
paid.
24
The
revenue
generated
by
the
bill
is
credited
to
the
new
25
Iowa
cancer
research
fund
(fund),
under
the
authority
of
the
26
department
of
health
and
human
services
(HHS).
The
bill
27
specifies
moneys
in
the
fund
shall
not
be
disbursed
prior
to
28
July
1,
2026,
and
shall
only
be
appropriated
for
purposes
29
related
to
supporting
and
funding
cancer
research
in
the
state.
30
The
bill
requires
HHS
to
develop
an
application
process
and
31
guidelines
for
cancer
researchers
to
receive
moneys
from
the
32
fund.
33
The
fund
is
not
subject
to
reversion
and
moneys
or
earnings
34
attributable
to
the
fund
are
credited
to
the
fund.
