House Roll Call 628: Passed

To revise a provision of the legislation implementing the 1998 tobacco lawsuit master settlement agreement. Under the bill tobacco companies which are not parties to the agreement, and which pay into escrow accounts established to ensure future payments under the agreement, would not get annual refunds based on a formula of the aggregate escrow payments from both participating and non-participating companies. See Senate Bill 782 and House Bill 5221.
