H.R. 3162 · 108th Congress
To require cigarette products to be placed under or behind the counter in retail sales.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
No cosponsors.
Requires anyone engaged in the retail sales of cigarette products to place such products under or behind a counter and not out on the floor of the sales facility. Deems noncompliance to be a violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act prohibition against deceptive acts or practices.
