Tobacco: retail sales; preemption of local ordinances pertaining to the sale of tobacco products or the licensure of distributors; eliminate. Amends sec. 14 of 1993 PA 327 (MCL 205.434).

This bill seeks to prevent Michigan cities, counties, and other local governments from creating new rules or bans on how tobacco products are sold or distributed. By amending state law, it would stop local areas from passing ordinances that restrict the sale of tobacco or require specific licenses for distributors. The legislation allows existing local regulations to remain in place but blocks any future attempts by local units of government to impose additional sales restrictions. Essentially, the bill would centralize authority over tobacco sales rules at the state level, removing the ability of local communities to set their own policies on the matter.
