Bill seeks to tamp down cigarette trafficking
Sen. Bryce E. Reeves, R-Spotsylvania, urged the General Assembly on Friday to pass a bill that would crack down on cigarette trafficking and, by extension, the funding of terrorist groups. “I’m making a plea to the citizens of the commonwealth, to ask for your support to combat terrorism,” Reeves said. At a press conference, Reeves gathered with members of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Virginia State Crime Commission to push for support of Senate Bill 1230. It would shift the regulation and sale of all cigarette and tobacco products from the Virginia Department of Taxation to the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
