As you may have heard, Reps Hansen and Meehan plan to introduce their menu
bill tomorrow. Their draft is currently being tweeked at leg counsel
we should get it tonight (I have the older version if anyone wants it
all of 3 1/2 pages). Here's what the bill does:
Permits the Secretary to waive recoupment if the State has filed with the
Secretary a plan which outlines how it will spend at least 25 percent of
each year's tobacco settlement efforts to:
Reduce tobacco use (including cessation, enforcement activities,
community-based and school-based programs),
Fund tobacco research and surveillance
Fund statewide counteradvertising and
Assist in the economic development of farmers and their
communities as they transition to a more broadly diversified economy
There's language requiring this spending to supplement, not supplant,
current spending and for all efforts to take into account the needs of
minority populations and high risk groups.
