Summary of Bill S 819

Bill 119 s 819, also known as the "Tax Parity for Tobacco Products Act of 2021," aims to make changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in order to ensure that all tobacco products are taxed at the same rate. Currently, different types of tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco, are taxed at different rates. This bill seeks to create tax rate parity among all tobacco products.

The main goal of this legislation is to create a more fair and equitable tax system for tobacco products. By taxing all tobacco products at the same rate, the bill aims to discourage the use of tobacco and promote public health. Additionally, proponents of the bill argue that tax parity will help to level the playing field for tobacco manufacturers and retailers.

In addition to addressing tax rate parity, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to tobacco regulation. These provisions may include measures to improve public health outcomes, reduce tobacco-related illnesses, and address disparities in tobacco use among different populations. Overall, Bill 119 s 819 is a significant piece of legislation that aims to reform the taxation of tobacco products in the United States. If passed, the bill could have far-reaching implications for public health, the tobacco industry, and government revenue.
