An Act repealing the state menthol ban
This bill (S 1528) would repeal the existing state law banning the sale of menthol-flavored tobacco products, such as menthol cigarettes. It directly affects tobacco retailers who currently cannot sell these products and consumers who purchase them. The key mechanism is removing the prohibition from state law, allowing menthol tobacco products to be legally sold again within the state.
