Mixed Decision for Senecas
A federal judge in Buffalo issued a mixed decision in response to a request by Seneca Nation business owners regarding the PACT Act.
Judge Richard Arcara’s ruling says Senecas in the mail-order cigarette business will have to comply with some provisions of the new federal law, but not all of them.
The ruling temporarily exempts the businesses from the part of the law that requires sellers to comply with state and local taxing laws, but a provision prohibiting them from shipping cigarettes through the mail can be enforced.
This will be in effect as the business owners continue to challenge the constitutionality of the law.
