Tobacco board ends; funds to prevention and CHIP

The law ends the Tobacco Prevention Advisory Board. It sets how tobacco settlement money is used: 32% goes to DPHHS for youth prevention and quitting help, and 17% goes to match federal Children’s Health Insurance Program funds. DPHHS follows CDC Best Practices for these programs. The legislature appropriates from these accounts for prevention; board funding ends. Money not appropriated within two years moves to the state trust fund. The changes take effect on passage and approval.
