Short description: 
TOBACCO PRODUCTS-DISCLOSE INFO                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Disclosure of Ingredients in  Tobacco  Products  Act.      
   Provides  that  beginning  in  the  year  2003,  any  manufacturer  of      
   cigarettes,  snuff, or chewing tobacco shall provide the Department of      
   Public Health with an annual report that lists  specified  information      
   for each brand of product sold.                                             
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Public Health)                            
          To adequately set standards and make available to the public         
          the information which is required by HB 4149, the Department         
          will need to seek expertise not currently available within the       
          Department. It is estimated that, a minimum of 3 full-time           
          employees and clerical support, as well as equipment and soft-       
          ware will be necessary. Depending on the method utilized by the      
          Department to make public the annual reports, there would also       
          be costs for printing or information technology. The total           
          impact for the Department of Public Health is estimated at           
          $275,000.
