L.C. 6.18: Ishan’s Nicotine Tax Act (PASSED)

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Good to know that the Lincoln version of this bill is still called the Frémont Nicotine Tax Act. This will hopefully make the transition into a Frémont-controlled puppet region in Lincoln a teensy bit easier.

Also good to note they took the version we all agreed was sh*t.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Nice work copying the terrible garbage bill everyone in Parliament hated, rather than the more sensible amended version we are currently passing!

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Frémont Nicotine Tax

Section 1 (Title)

i. The title of this Act shall be, the "Frémont Nicotine Tax."

Section 2 (What classifies as an item with Nicotine)

i. Vapes, Cigarettes, Chewing Tobacco, and Roll Your Owns

Section 3  (Taxes)

i. There will be a 90% 40% tax on all of the products covered in Section 2.
ii. In addition, electronic cigarettes, nicotine gum, patches, and other cigarette alternatives will be taxed at a 40% rate unless the buyer is a current smoker trying to quit. The relevant Frémont health bureaus will create necessary legal identification for such buyers in the form of tax waivers issued at addiction treatment facilities and redeemed at purchase points.

Section 4 (When will the Tax be Applied)

i. This bill will take effect on August 1st, 2020 if passed.

Offering the following draft amendment.

How's this?

Because you're still too lazy to actually copy the version that isn't nonsense that the Parliament is actually trying to enact.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Hey ASV, do you have to be such a dick when you offer suggestions? You could either offer more constructive criticism and arguments therein or you could go back to your own region's business instead of butting into ours.

If you're going to be lazy and steal our legislation then no I'm not going to bother with pleasantries.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

The tax rate, even as amended, is far too high for me to support.

Then why not sponsor an amendment to bring this bill into line with the amended Fremont version, bringing the rate down to a less meteoric 40%.
