Section 1399-HH. Tobacco enforcement

The commissioner shall develop, plan
  and implement a  comprehensive  program  to  reduce  the  prevalence  of
  tobacco use, particularly among persons less than eighteen years of age.
  This  program  shall  include,  but  not  be  limited  to,  support  for
  enforcement of article thirteen-F of this chapter.
    1.  An enforcement officer, as defined  in  section  thirteen  hundred
  ninety-nine-t  of  this chapter, may annually, on such dates as shall be
  fixed by the commissioner, submit an application for such monies as  are
  made available for such purpose.  Such application shall be in such form
  as  prescribed by the commissioner and shall include, but not be limited
  to, plans regarding random spot checks, including the number  and  types
  of  compliance  checks  that  will be conducted, and other activities to
  determine compliance with this article.  Each such plan shall include an
  agreement to report to the commissioner:  the  names  and  addresses  of
  tobacco  retailers  and vendors determined to be unlicensed, if any; the
  number of complaints filed against licensed tobacco retail outlets;  and
  the  names of tobacco retailers and vendors who have paid fines, or have
  been otherwise penalized, due to enforcement actions.
    2.   The  commissioner  shall  distribute  such  monies  as  are  made
  available  for  such  purpose  to enforcement officers and, in so doing,
  consider the number of  retail  locations  registered  to  sell  tobacco
  products  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the enforcement officer and the
  level of proposed activities.
    3. Monies made available to  enforcement  officers  pursuant  to  this
  section  shall  only  be  used  for local tobacco enforcement activities
  approved by the commissioner.
