Alabama Representative Steve McMillan has introduced a bill (HB 224) that would enact a $0.25/ml tax on e-liquid. HB 224 has been referred to the House of Representatives committee on Ways and Means General Fund. Please see the chart below for a breakdown of the cost this tax would add to bottled e-liquid.
Moreover, this bill will require Alabama vendors to purchase liquids only from a wholesaler that is permitted by the state. This will have the effect of dramatically reducing the availability of products to consumers in Alabama.
Please take action now and send a message to your lawmakersand the committee urging them to oppose this bill.
