  • Indiana Bill Allows Vendors to Sell Cigars at Events

    Indiana Bill Allows Vendors to Sell Cigars at Events

    A bill would allow tobacco vendors in Indiana to obtain a three-year supplemental cigar sales certificate, allowing them to sell cigars at an event on a temporary basis, passed through the Senate today (April 9) by a vote of 41-8. House Bill 1468, authored by State Rep. Kyle Miller, will head to the governor’s desk following a concurrence vote in the House.

     “I am thrilled to see my legislation pass through the Senate,” Miller said. “HB 1468 will help many small businesses that sell cigars across our state by allowing them to vend at public events. This legislation will ensure that our businesses are engaging with their communities and can promote their trade outside of their shops. 

    “Passing this bill is a great step taken by the legislature to foster entrepreneurship in Indiana by promoting our small businesses. As a small business owner myself, I’m proud to fight for legislation that encourages entrepreneurship in our state.”
