Alaska bill would raise age for tobacco use to 21


If enacted, the state legislation would align the minimum age requirement with federal law.
The bill also would impose a state tax on electronic smoking products, or e-cigarettes, for the first time in Alaska. The Fairbanks City Council turned down a municipal tax on e-cigarettes, but other local governments in Alaska tax e-cigarettes, including Anchorage and Juneau.
The proposed statewide tax would be at the same rate as it is for other tobacco products in Alaska, yielding an estimated $2.5 million in revenue, according to Rep. Sara Hannan, the House sponsor. 
The bill also would prohibit internet sales of e-cigarettes.

The bill introduced by Republican Sen. Mike Shower is part of an effort by conservatives to reshape the state’s judicial selection system, the Anchorage Daily News reported Wednesday.
Under Alaska’s system, the governor must nominate judges from a list of qualified applicants submitted by the Alaska Judicial Council, which is made up of three community members and three lawyers chosen by the Alaska Bar Association. The Alaska Supreme Court chief justice has a tie-breaking vote. ....
