SB0185

Alcohol and tobacco matters.

Complete·3/12/26

Indiana SB0185 regulates tobacco sales and distribution, including certificate requirements, age restrictions, and penalties for violations.

Indiana SB0185 amends tobacco sales regulations, requiring a tobacco sales certificate for wholesale and retail sales. It mandates that a certificate holder must display their certificate visibly and prohibits selling to individuals under 21. The bill reduces the frequency of allowable violations before penalties increase and changes the certificate validity period from three years to one year. It also prohibits selling e-liquids from foreign adversaries and adds selling alcohol without a permit as a racketeering activity.
