This proposed rule creates the process local health departments (LHDs) will use to issue permits to general tobacco retailers, as well as retail tobacco specialty businesses that wish to sell, market, or distribute tobacco products in the state of Utah. This process includes submitting an application with all pertinent business information and paying a permitting fee. Permits must be renewed every two years for general tobacco retailers and yearly for retail tobacco specialty businesses. Any retail tobacco specialty business that is applying for a permit for the first time, or a general tobacco retailer that has changed their business model to be a retail tobacco specialty business, must complete a plan review to accompany their application certifying that they meet the zoning requirements in place for a retail tobacco specialty business.
