Louisiana Budget Project has released a new report, “Tobacco Tax Increase: Raise the Tax or Bear the Burden” which analyzes House Bill 75. House Bill 75 proposes significantly raising tobacco taxes in Louisiana.  The goals of this legislation are to make Louisiana a healthier state by reducing the incidence of smoking, while also producing much-needed revenue.

Tuesday April 28, 2009 at 9:00a.m., House Bill 75 will be heard by the Committee on Ways and Means in Committee Room 6.
