Cigars Sales MODEL LEGISLATION OUTLINE -- May 2021

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE REVISED PACT ACT FORMS. Updated March, 2021

The FTA Tobacco Uniformity Committee has developed the revised PACT Act forms, State Cigarette PACT Act report (PA-1) and State Tobacco PACT Act report (PA-2), effective March, 2021. The Tobacco Uniformity Committee has approved these revised PDF and Excel versions of the forms. These are forms for the states that accept paper filing and have not yet fully adopted the electronic reporting using the FTA Tobacco Uniformity electronic XML filing schema.

Note: The FTA Tobacco Uniformity electronic XML filing schema captures all data a state may need for all reports/files/returns (such as PACT, MSA, etc.).
