Description

Tobacco Board; composition; excise tax. Subjects the Tobacco Board to general provisions governing the terms, quorum, officers, and reimbursement of expenses of members of commodity boards. The bill removes the requirement that each tobacco organization submit two or more Tobacco Board nominees at least 90 days before the expiration of the member's term for which the nomination is being provided. The bill also removes the Tobacco Board's authority to appoint a secretary and other such employees. The bill increases the excise tax on bright flue-cured and type 21 dark-fired tobacco harvested in the Commonwealth from 20 cents to 40 cents per 100 pounds and allows the Tobacco Board to waive the interest penalty, or portion thereof, that accrues as a result of nonpayment of the excise tax in its discretion for good cause shown.
