SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    (a) General Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Tobacco is an addictive substance the use of which 
        constitutes the Nation's number 1 preventable cause of death.
            (2) The use of tobacco products by the nation's children is 
        a serious and growing public health problem that results in new 
        generations of tobacco-dependent children and adults.
            (3) There is a consensus within the scientific and medical 
        communities that currently marketed tobacco products are 
        inherently unsafe and cause cancer, heart disease, and other 
        serious adverse health effects. The tobacco industry concealed 
        relevant data concerning the effects of tobacco products on 
        adolescents and adults.
            (4) Virtually all new users of tobacco products are under 
        the age of 18. Tobacco industry advertising and marketing is 
        directed at adolescents and as such, sweeping new restriction 
        on the sale, promotion, and distribution of such products are 
        needed.
            (5) Enhancing the existing legal mechanisms and the 
        available prevention, research, and treatment resources with 
        respect to tobacco will allow our Nation to address more 
        effectively the problems associated with the use of tobacco 
        products.
            (6) Public health authorities believe that the societal 
        benefits of enacting tobacco settlement legislation in human 
        and economic terms would be vast. The Secretary of Health and 
        Human Services has found that reducing underage tobacco use 50 
        percent ``would prevent well over 60,000 early deaths''. The 
        Secretary has estimated that the monetary value of the 
        regulations promulgated as a result of this Act will be an 
        estimated $43,000,000,000 per year in reduced medical costs, 
        improved productivity, and the benefit of avoiding the 
        premature death of loved ones.
            (7) The unique position occupied by tobacco in the history 
        and economy of the United States, the magnitude of the actual 
        and potential tobacco-related litigation, the advisability of 
        avoiding the cost, expense, uncertainty, and inconsistency 
        associated with such protracted litigation, the need to limit 
        the sale, distribution, marketing, and advertising of tobacco 
        products to persons of legal age, and the need to better 
        educate the public (especially young people) concerning the 
        health risks of using tobacco products make it in the public 
        interest to enact legislation to facilitate a comprehensive 
        resolution of such matters.
    (b) Findings Related to Interstate Commerce and the Judicial 
System.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and use 
        of tobacco products are activities substantially affecting 
        interstate commerce and as such, have a substantial effect on 
        the economy of the United States.
            (2) The sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and use 
        of tobacco products are activities that substantially affect 
        interstate commerce by virtue of the health care-related and 
        other costs that Federal and State governmental authorities 
        have incurred because of the usage of tobacco products.
            (3) Various civil actions brought by State attorneys 
        general, cities, counties, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 
        third-party payors, and other private classes and individuals 
        to recover damages relating to tobacco-related diseases, 
        conditions and products are pending throughout the United 
        States; of these actions are slow-moving, expensive, and 
        burdensome not only for the litigants but also for Federal and 
        State judicial systems.

SEC. 3. GOALS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Goals.--It is a goal of this Act to--
            (1) decrease youth smoking and reduce the marketing of 
        tobacco products to young Americans;

        public health priorities, such as smoking cessation, public 
        education, counter-advertising.

            (1) provide for the funding by the tobacco industry of an

        retail licensing system to prevent minors from obtaining 
        tobacco products;
            (2) subject the tobacco industry to severe financial 
        penalties in the event that underage tobacco usage does not 
        decline radically over the next 10 years;
            (3) provide for the establishment of national standards to 
        control the manufacturing of tobacco products and the 
        ingredients used in such products;
            (4) provide certain regulatory powers to the Secretary of 
        Health and Human Services to encourage the development and 
        marketing by the tobacco industry of ``less hazardous tobacco 
        products'', including the power to regulate the level of 
        nicotine in such products;
            (5) require the manufacturers of tobacco products to 
        disclose all present and future non-public internal laboratory 
        research regarding tobacco products;
            (6) establish a minimum Federal standard to limit smoking 
        in public places, including the halls of Congress;
            (7) provide for the establishment of a National Tobacco 
        Settlement Trust Fund to be funded by the tobacco industry and 
        used in accordance with this Act;
            (8) provide for the establishment of a national education-
        oriented counter advertising and tobacco use prevention 
        campaign to be funded through the National Tobacco Settlement 
        Trust Fund;
            (9) provide annual payments to States to fund tobacco-
        related health benefits programs through the National Tobacco 
        Settlement Trust Fund; and
            (10)(A) settle the present tobacco-related governmental 
        parens patriae and private class actions as to which a final 
        judgment or final settlement has not been reached as of the 
        effective date of this Act;
            (B) bar future tobacco-related claims based on dependency;
            (C) preclude claims for punitive damages based on conduct 
        that took place prior to the effective date of this Act to that 
        such claims are not reduced to final judgment or final 
        settlement prior to the effective date of this Act; and
            (D) preclude further class actions or aggregations of 
        claims in tobacco-related actions.

    (c) Adjustments.--
            (1) In general.--The amount of the annual base amount 
        payments for each year under subsection (b) shall be adjusted 
        by the Trustees in accordance with the formula described in 
        paragraph (2). In prescribing such adjustments, the Trustees 
        shall ensure that participating manufacturers make annual 
        payments based on their relative domestic volume of sales of 
        units of tobacco products during the year for which the payment 
        is due.
            (2) Formula.--
                    (A) Inflation adjustment.--With respect to a year, 
                the base amount payment for such year under subsection 
                (b) shall be increased for such year by the greater of 
                3 percent or the percentage increase in the Consumer 
                Price Index for the period beginning in the first full 
                fiscal year beginning after the date of enactment of 
                this Act and ending in the year for which the 
                determination is being made.
                    (B) Volume adjustment.--
                            (i) Determination.--With respect to a 
                        year--
                                    (I) if the actual volume is greater 
                                than the base volume, the amount of the 
                                annual base amount payments for such 
                                year under subsection (b) shall be 
                                increased by an amount equal to the 
                                amount determined by multiplying such 
                                base amount by the ratio of the actual 
                                volume to the base volume; or
                                    (II) if the actual volume is less 
                                than the base volume, the annual base 
                                amount payments for such year under 
                                subsection (b) shall be reduced by an 
                                amount equal to the amount determined 
                                by multiplying such base amount by the 
                                greater of--
                                            (aa) the ratio of the 
                                        actual volume to the base 
                                        volume; or
                                            (bb) the ratio of the 
                                        portion of the actual volume 
                                        attributable to sales to 
                                        individuals 18 years of age or 
                                        older to the portion of the 
                                        base volume attributable to 
                                        sales to individual 18 years of 
                                        age or older.
                            (ii) Required reduction.--If a reduction in 
                        the applicable base amount is required under 
                        clause (ii), but the participating 
                        manufacturers' aggregate net operating profits 
                        from domestic sales of tobacco products for the 
                        year for which the annual payment is being 
                        calculated, as reported to the Securities and 
                        Exchange Commission, is greater than such 
                        participating manufacturers' aggregate net 
                        operating profits from domestic sales of 
                        tobacco products in 1996 (as increased for 
                        inflation) as reported to the Securities and 
                        Exchange Commission, such reduction shall be 
                        reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal 
                        to 25 percent of such increase in such profits.
                            (iii) Nonreporting manufacturer.--In the 
                        case of a participating manufacturer that does 
                        not report profits to the Securities and 
                        Exchange Commission, the profit figures 
                        referred to in this subparagraph shall be those 
                        reflected in that participating manufacturer's 
                        audited financial statements for the applicable 
                        year. The determination of the participating 
                        manufacturers' aggregate net operating profits 
                        from domestic sales of tobacco products shall 
                        be derived using the same methodology as was 
                        employed in deriving such participating 
                        manufacturers' aggregate net operating profits 
                        from domestic sales of tobacco products in 
                        1996, as reported to the Securities and 
                        Exchange Commission.

                                involved (as reported by such 
                                participating manufacturers to the 
                                Secretary); and
                                    (II) the term ``base volume'' means 
                                the number of units of tobacco products 
                                sold domestically by participating 
                                manufacturers in 1996.

subsection (a) on any failure with respect to a manufacturer shall be

    (d) Limitations.--
            (1) In general.--No penalty shall be imposed by subsection 
        (a) on any failure to make a fee payment under section 102 
        during any period for which it is established to the

        excessive relative to the failure involved.

year period beginning on the date on which a participating manufacturer 
fails to make a timely fee payment as required under section 102, such 
manufacture has not fully paid the amount owed by such manufacturer

    (b) Enforcement.--For the first applicable fiscal year and for each 
subsequent fiscal year, a State shall--
            (1) enforce the law described in subsection (a)(1) 
        systematically and conscientiously and in a manner that can 
        reasonably be expected to reduce the extent to which tobacco 
        products are available to individuals under the age of 18;
            (2) certify that the State requires such enforcement of 
        such law to be treated as a priority by State and local law 
        enforcement authorities;
            (3) conduct random, unannounced inspections to ensure 
        compliance with the law described in subsection (a)(1); and

                enforce such law during the fiscal year preceding the 
                fiscal year for which the State is seeking the grant;
                    (B) the steps taken by the State to ensure that 
                enforcement of such law was treated as a priority by 
                State and local law enforcement authorities;
                    (C) the extent of success the State has achieved in 
                reducing the availability of tobacco products to 
                individuals under the age of 18, including the results 
                of the inspections conducted under paragraph (1); and
                    (D) the strategies to be utilized by the State for 
                enforcing such law during the fiscal year for which the 
                grant is sought.
    (c) Funding.--The law specified in subsection (a)(1) may be 
administered and enforced by a State using--
            (1) any amounts made available to the State under subtitle 
        A of title V;

A of title V to a State for the first applicable fiscal year or any 
subsequent fiscal year, the Trustees, in consultation with the

reduce the amount of the State payment under such subtitle for the 
fiscal year involved by an amount equal to--
            (1) in the case of the first applicable fiscal year, 10 
        percent of the amount determined under subtitle A of title V;
            (2) in the case of the first fiscal year following such 
        applicable fiscal year, 20 percent of the amount determined

        provisions of the model State law described in section 302.
            (2) Requirements.--The Secretary shall grant a request for 
        a waiver or modification under paragraph (1) unless the 
        Secretary determines that--
                    (A) the State has not demonstrated that the State 
                has enacted laws that implement requirements that are 
                comparable to the requirements of all of the elements 
                of the model State law under section 302; or
                    (A) the cumulative effect of granting all of such 
                waivers or modifications with respect to the State 
                would render the youth anti-tobacco laws and marketing 
                systems of the State to be ineffective.
    (f) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term ``first 
applicable fiscal year'' means--

    ``(a) Notice.--Upon a finding that a licensee has been determined 
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have violated this Act during 
the license term, the State shall notify the licensee in writing, 
served personally or by registered mail at the notice address, that any 
subsequent violation of this Act at the same place of business may 
result in an administrative action to suspend the license for a period 
determined by the State.
    ``(b) Suspension.--Upon finding that a further violation by the 
licensee has occurred involving the same place of business for which 
the license was issued and the licensee has been provided notice under 
subsection (a), the State may initiate an administrative action to 
suspend the license for a period to be determined by the State. If an 
administrative action to suspend a license is initiated, the State 
shall immediately notify the licensee in writing at the notice address 
of the initiation of the action and the reasons therefore and permit 
the licensee an opportunity, at least 30 days after written notice is 
served personally or by registered mail upon the licensee, to show why 
suspension of the license would be unwarranted or unjust.
    ``(c) Revocation.--The State may initiate an administrative action 
to revoke a license that previously has been suspended under subsection 
(b) if, during the one year period in which the license was issued, a 
further violation of this Act is committed after the suspension by the 
licensee involving the same place of business for which the license was 
issued. If an administrative action to revoke a license is initiated, 
the State shall immediately notify the licensee in writing at the 
notice address of the initiation of the action and the reasons 
therefore and permit the licensee an opportunity, at least 30 days 
after written notice is served personally or by registered mail upon 
the licensee, to show why revocation of the license would be 
unwarranted or unjust.
    ``(d) Other Violations.--No action with respect to any license at a 
place of business may be taken based on a violation that occurred 
subsequent to the occurrence of another violation unless such other 
violation is fully adjudicated at the time the subsequent violation 
occurred.

with respect to a place of business pursuant to this section shall pay 
the State a fee of $1,000 for the renewal or reissuance of the license 
at that same place of business.
    ``(f) Effect on Application for New License.--Revocation of a 
license under subsection (c) with respect to a place of business shall 
not be grounds to deny an application by that person for a new license 
with respect to that place of business for more than 12 months 
subsequent to the date of such revocation. Revocation or suspension of 
a license with respect to a particular place of business shall not be 
the grounds to deny an application for a new license, to refuse to 
renew a license, or to revoke or suspend an existing license at another 
place of business.
    ``(g) Judicial Review.--A licensee may seek judicial review of an 
action of the State suspending, revoking, denying, or refusing to renew 
a license under this section by filing a complaint in a court of 
competent jurisdiction. A complaint shall be filed within 30 days after 
the date on which notice of the action is received by the licensee. The 
court shall review the evidence de novo.

any, of the action has been completed.

``SEC. 11. PREEMPTION.

    ``(a) In General.--The provisions of this Act shall not preempt any 
provisions of State or local law that provide greater restrictions than 
those required in this Act so long as such State or local laws do not 
conflict with regulations issued under section 910 of the Federal Food, 
Drug and Cosmetic Act.

construed to prohibit the Secretary of Health and Human Services from 
regulating tobacco products under chapter IX of the Federal Food, Drug, 
and Cosmetic Act.

``SEC. 12. SEVERABILITY.

    ``If any provision of this Act or its application to any person or 
circumstance is held invalid, such holding shall not affect other 
provisions or applications of this Act that can be given effect without

        Future by the University of Michigan (if such survey is still 
        being undertaken) or such other comparable index, as determined 
appropriate by the Secretary after notice and an opportunity for a 
hearing, that utilizes methodology identical to that used by the 
University of Michigan in such survey.
            (2) Alteration of methodology.--If the Secretary determines 
        that the methodology used by the University of Michigan in the

        material manner from the methodology used during the period 
        from 1986 to 1996 (including by altering States or regions on 
        which the survey is based), the Secretary, after notice and an 
        opportunity for a hearing, shall use percentages based on an 
        index developed by the Secretary that utilizes methodology 
        identical to that used by the University of Michigan in such 
        survey.

        involved (as determined under section 313(c)) as compared to 
        the underage use base percentage for smokeless tobacco products 
        (as determined under section 312(b)).
    (b) Percentage Reduction in Underage Use of Tobacco Products.--For 
purposes of subsection (a), the required percentage reduction in the 
underage use of tobacco products with respect to each tobacco product 
shall be determined based on the national goals for the reduction in 
underage tobacco use under section 4.

SEC. 315. APPLICATION OF SURCHARGES.

    (a) In General.--If the Secretary determines that the percentage 
reduction in the underage use of tobacco products for a year has not

                    (A) with respect to subparagraph (A) of such 
                paragraph--
                            (i) the proportional percentage increase or 
                        decrease, as compared to calendar year 1995, in 
                        the population of individuals residing in the 
                        United States who are at least 13 years of age 
                        but less than 18 years of age;
                            (ii) the proportional percentage increase 
                        or decrease, as compared to calendar year 1996, 
                        in the average profit per unit (measured in 
                        cents and weighted by annual sales) earned by 
                        participating manufacturers for the tobacco 
                        product involved (as determined by the 
                        Secretary through a contract with a nationally 
                        recognized accounting firm having no connection 
                        to such manufacturers); and
                    (B) any methodology utilized to avoid the double 
                counting of underage individuals whose tobacco use has 
                previously resulted in the imposition of a surcharge, 
                limited to the extent that there were not other 
                underage users of tobacco in such previous years for 
                whom a surcharge was not paid because of the limitation 
                contained in section 316.
            (3) Profit per unit.--For purposes of paragraph (2)(A)(ii), 
        the average profit per unit for calendar 1996 shall be 
        determined using the operating profit reported by participating 
        manufacturers to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
            (4) Annual limitations.--The total amount of surcharges 
        imposed under this section for a calendar year shall not 
        exceed--
                    (A) in the case of cigarettes--
                            (i) $5,000,000,000 for each of the years 
                        described in paragraph (1)(A)(i); and
                            (ii) $10,000,000,000 for each of the years 
                        described in paragraph (1)(A)(ii); and
                    (B) in the case of smokeless tobacco products--
                            (i) $500,000,000 for each of the years 
                        described in paragraph (1)(B)(i); and
                            (ii) $1,000,000,000 for each of the years 
                        described in paragraph (1)(B)(ii).
    (c) Determination of Applicable Surcharge Percentage Points.--
            (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), with 
        respect to a calendar year, the applicable surcharge percentage 
        points shall be equal to the percentage point difference 
        between--
                    (A) the required percentage reduction in the 
                underage use of the tobacco product involved for the 
                year (based on the tables in section 314(b)); and
                    (B) the number of percentage points by which the 
                average annual incidence of the daily use of the 
                tobacco products involved by individuals who are under 
                18 years of age for the year (as determined under 
                section 313) is less than the underage use base 
                percentage for such products (as determined under 
                section 312).
            (2) Adjustment.--If for any calendar year the Secretary 
        determines that the average annual incidence of the daily use 
        of the tobacco products involved by individuals who are under 
        18 years of age (as determined under section 313) is greater 
        than the underage use base percentage for such products (as 
        determined under section 312), the applicable surcharge 
        percentage point shall be equal to--
                    (A) the percentage point amount determined under 
                paragraph (1)(A); and
                    (B) the number of percentage points by which the 
                average annual incidence of the daily use of the 
                tobacco products involved by individuals who are under 
                18 years of age (as determined under section 313) is 
                greater than the underage use base percentage for such 
                products (as determined under section 312).
            (3) Type of product.--Separate determinations shall be made 
        under this section for cigarette products and smokeless tobacco 
        products.
    (d) Joint and Several Obligation.--Any surcharge imposed under this 
section with respect to a tobacco product (cigarette products or 
smokeless tobacco products) shall be the joint and several obligation 
of all participating manufacturers of such product as allocated by the 
market share of each such manufacturer with respect to such product. 
The market share of each manufacturer for each such product shall be 
based on the market share of such product for the year preceding the 
year for which the determination is being made.
    (e) Assessment.--Not later than May 1 of each year in which a 
surcharge will be imposed under this section, the Secretary shall 
assess, pursuant to subsection (d), to each participating manufacturer 
the amount for which such manufacturer is obligated. Not later than 
July 1 of any year in which a manufacturer receives an assessment under 
this section, the manufacturer shall pay such assessment in full or be 
subject to such interest on such amount as the Secretary may by 
regulation prescribe.
    (f) Use of Amounts.--Amounts received under this section shall be 
used to further the purposes of this Act.
    (g) Prohibition.--No stay or other injunctive relief may be granted 
by the Secretary or any court that has the effect of enjoining the 
imposition and collection of the surcharges to be applied under this 
section.

SEC. 316. ABATEMENT PROCEDURES.

    (a) Petitions.--Upon payment by a participating manufacturer of the 
amount assessed to the manufacturer under section 315(f), the 
manufacturer may submit a petition to the Secretary for an abatement of 
the assessment. A notice of such abatement petition shall be submitted 
to the attorney general of each State.
    (b) Hearing.--The Secretary shall provide for the conduct of a 
hearing on an abatement petition received under subsection (a) pursuant 
to the procedures described in sections 554, 556, and 557 of title 5, 
United States Code. The attorney general of any State shall be 
permitted to be heard at any hearing conducted under this subsection.
    (c) Burden.--The burden at any hearing under subsection (b) shall 
be on the participating manufacturer to prove, by a preponderance of 
the evidence, that the manufacturer should be granted the abatement.
    (d) Basis of Decision.--Any decision regarding a petition for an 
abatement under this section shall be based on a determination as to 
whether--
            (1) the participating manufacturer has acted in good faith 
        and in full compliance with this Act (and any amendment made by 
        this Act) and any regulations or State or local laws 
        promulgated in furtherance of this Act;
            (2) the participating manufacturer has pursued all 
        reasonably available measures to attain the reductions;
            (3) there is any evidence of any direct or indirect action 
        by the participating manufacturer to undermine the achievement 
        of the reductions required under section 314 or to undermine 
        any other provision of this Act (or amendment); and
            (4) the participating manufacturer has taken (or failed to 
        take) any other action as determined appropriate by the 
        Secretary.
    (e) Amount.--Upon a determination granting an abatement under this 
section, the Secretary shall order the abatement of any or all of the 
amount paid by the participating manufacturer (as determined by the 
Secretary), together with interest that may have accrued on such amount 
during the period between the date on which payment by the manufacturer 
was made and the date on which the abatement order was granted. Such

of the student's degree program.
