"
Section 20. Nothing in this Act prohibits any distributor, wholesaler, or dealer from selling its
existing inventory of cigarettes on or after January 1, 2011, if the distributor, wholesaler, or dealer
establishes that the state tax stamps were affixed to the cigarettes before January 1, 2011. In addition,
the inventory of cigarettes must have been purchased in a comparable quantity to the inventory that
was purchased during the same period for the preceding year.".
