Summary

Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement; bond requirements; escrow payments by certain manufacturers. Requires that the bond posted by manufacturers for inclusion in the Directory be equal to the greater of $50,000 or the escrow amount the manufacturer was required to deposit based on its highest calendar year's sales in Virginia. Under current law, the bond amount to be posted is the greater of $50,000 or the escrow amount the manufacturer was required to deposit based on its previous calendar year's sales in Virginia. The bill also adds nonparticipating manufacturers that have been designated by the Attorney General as an elevated risk to the list of those manufacturers that may be required to make escrow payments on a quarterly rather than an annual basis.
