The state enacted tobacco cessation fee of $1.50 per pack within the final days of the 2017 legislative session. The fee drew criticism because it did not indicate the purpose of the assessment to reduce the incidence of smoking, or for increased regulation of tobacco products. On Aug. 10, 2017, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled the fee was a tax. Oklahoma’s constitution requires a three-fourths majority for all tax increases, while fee increases require a simple majority. The smoking cessation legislation was passed with a simple majority, and therefore violated the Oklahoma Constitution and was struck down. The fee was expected to bring in $214 million for the state in FY 2018 and $250 million for the state in FY 2019. When the fee was ruled unconstitutional it placed Oklahoma in a budget shortfall situation and the state was called into special session to address the shortfall. No change in taxpayer liability. |
