Action Alert <br />Cigarette vending machine <br />regulations under discussion <br />The Legislature will bear a proposal to <br />adopt state-wide regulatiODs on ciga­ <br />rette vending machiiies. Senator James <br />Metzes (DFL-Soutb St Paul) will proba­ <br />bly be one of tbe biirs authors. <br />Under tbe bill, sutc sututes would su ­ <br />persede any luic or ordinance of a local <br />unit of government relating to regula ­ <br />tion of tbe locatioo of vending machine <br />sales of tobacco. <br />Tue biirs regulations are sunilar to the <br />partial ban type of ordinances several <br />communities have passed. The bill would <br />allow vending machine sales of tobacco <br />products: <br />♦ In a factor), business, office, or other <br />place not open to the general public or <br />minors (18 years of age); or <br />• In an on-sale or off-sale liquor store or <br />bar if the machine is under the close <br />observation and control of a responsible <br />employee . not in an outer waiting area or <br />other unmonitored area, and if the ma­ <br />chine is inaccessible after hours. Tbe hill <br />would require that in non-factor> or bar <br />locations, the machine must work only <br />by an employee activating an electronic <br />switch or by using a token. <br />The bill will be up for a beanng shortly. <br />It contrasts with a bill by Sen. Marty <br />(DFL-Rosevilic) which would require <br />local licensure of cigarette vending <br />machines.
