Increasing the tax on electronic cigarettes and crediting the revenue to the children's initiative fund.

HB 2783 increases the tax on electronic cigarettes from $0.05 to $0.15 per milliliter of consumable liquid (the solution used in e-cigarettes) sold or distributed in Kansas. This tax applies to distributors and retailers who sell e-cigarettes, with the increased revenue directly credited to the Children's Initiative Fund (as established under K.S.A. 38-2102). The bill amends Kansas statutes 79-3387 and 79-3399 to implement this tax rate change and redirect funds to the designated children's fund, replacing previous revenue allocations for tobacco regulation. It does not change how the tax is collected but specifies where the additional revenue must go.
