Title
AN ACT CONCERNING THE REPEAL OF PROHIBITION OF THE SALE, OFFER OR DISTRIBUTION OF CERTAIN CIGAR PRODUCTS for the purpose of repealing the provisions of the County Code prohibiting the sale, offer or distribution of cigar and cigar products in quantities fewer than packages of five.
Background
This legislation seeks to repeal provisions enacted by CB-47-2008 and CB-6-2009 which prohibited the sale, offer or distribution of certain cigar and cigar products in quantities fewer than packages of five. The Maryland Court of Appeals invalidated CB-47 and CB-6, as being preempted by State law, in a April 25, 2013 decision in Plescia, et al and Altadis U.S.A., Inc. et al v. Prince George's County, MD.
