For administrative purposes, the retail permits will be called "cigarette/tobacco retail permits." A person shall not engage in the business of a retailer of tobacco products without first having received a permit as a cigarette/tobacco retailer. A cigarette/tobacco retail permit shall be obtained for each place of business owned or operated by a retailer. The holder of a cigarette/tobacco retail permit is not required to obtain a tobacco retail permit. The retailer may sell cigarettes only, tobacco products only, or both cigarettes and tobacco products. However, if the cigarette/tobacco permit is suspended, revoked, or expired, the cigarette retailer shall not sell any cigarettes or tobacco products during the time the permit is suspended, revoked, or expired.
This rule is intended to implement 2005 Iowa Acts, House File 339.
