(800) 657-3618 <br /> MEMO <br /> To: Cigarette and Tobacco Licensing Department <br /> From: Wayne Lang, Supervisor-Cigarette & Tobacco Unit <br /> Date: August 14,2001 <br /> In July of this year, I sent a notice to your attention outlining several law changes enacted by <br /> the 2001 Minnesota Legislature. Among the changes highlighted in the letter was the <br /> following paragraph regarding the tobacco license reporting requirement for counties and <br /> other local units of government: <br /> County Licensing Reporting Requirement. Minnesota Statute, 9 461.12, <br /> was amended by adding a subdivision to require a county or other local unit <br /> of govemment to report the tfile identity of all retail tobacco license holders <br /> to the Department of Revenue. The reports must be made to the Department <br /> . of Revenue within 30 days of the issuance or renewal or transfer ofthe <br /> license. The law is effective for licenses issued, renewed, transferred, <br /> canceled, suspended, or revoked on or after January 1,2002. Forms and <br /> instructions for making these reports to the Department of Revenue will be <br /> available in several months. <br /> Attached to this memo is the form we would like you to use when reporting the identity of <br /> license holders when you issue, renew, transfer, cancel, suspend, or revoke a tobacco license <br /> in your county, city, or other unit of government. You will need to start using this form after <br /> January 1,2002. <br /> Sometime before January 31, 2002, we would appreciate it if you would send us a listing of <br /> all retailers in your county, city or township holding a cigarette or tobacco license as of <br /> December 31, 2001 (including business name, address, and owner/officer information). <br /> You may submit this information on paper or electronically in spreadsheet form either as an <br /> email attachment, disk or CD. This will enable us to establish a database of cigarette and <br /> tobacco retail licensees for the whole state. <br /> !fyou have any questions, please contact our office at either of the above numbers. <br /> . <br /> An equal opportunity employer TDD: (651) 297-2196 <br />
