Iowa bill mandates electronic filing of tobacco product returns and related documentation, with penalties for non-compliance.

The bill updates Iowa's cigarette and tobacco product regulations, including vapor products, by requiring electronic filing of returns, reports, and other documentation. It specifies that cities and counties may approve tobacco-related retail permits, but the department issues the permit to the applicant on behalf of the city or county. The bill mandates electronic submission of applications, bonds, fees, reports, returns, and other documentation, with exceptions allowed by the director. Failure to file or submit required documentation electronically results in a $50 penalty per occurrence.
