 AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to the sale of cigarette tax
 stamps

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 472 of the tax law, as amended by
 2 chapter 629 of the laws of 1996, and as further amended by section 104
 3 of part A of chapter 62 of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as
 4 follows:
 5 1. The commissioner shall prescribe, prepare and furnish stamps of
 6 such denominations and quantities as may be necessary for the payment of
 7 the tax on cigarettes imposed by this article, and may from time to time
 8 and as often as [he deems] deemed advisable provide for the issuance and
 9 exclusive use of stamps of a new design and forbid the use of stamps of
 10 any other design, in the manner and with the effect provided in section
 11 two hundred seventy-four of this chapter. The commissioner shall make
 12 provisions for the sale of such stamps at such places and at such times
 13 as [he may deem] deemed necessary and may license agents for such
 14 purpose. The commissioner may license dealers in cigarettes, who main-
 15 tain separate warehousing facilities for the purpose of receiving and
 16 distributing cigarettes and conducting their business, who have received
 17 commitments from at least two cigarette manufacturers whose aggregate
 18 market share is at least forty percent of the New York state cigarette
 19 market, and importers, exporters and manufacturers of cigarettes, and
 20 other persons within or without the state as agents to buy or affix
 21 stamps to be used in paying the tax herein imposed, but an agent shall
 22 at all times have the right to appoint the person in [his] their employ
 23 who is to affix the stamps to any cigarettes under the agent's control.
 24 The fee for filing such application for an agent's license shall be one
 25 thousand five hundred dollars, unless such fee has been paid during the

 1 preceding twelve months, in which case, the fee for a new license shall
 2 be one thousand dollars. All of the provisions of section four hundred
 3 eighty relating to wholesale dealers' licenses, including the procedure
 4 for suspension, revocation, refusal to license and for hearings, except
 5 for paragraphs (c) and (g) of subdivision one of such section, shall be
 6 applicable to agents' licenses applied for or granted pursuant to this
 7 section, as if such provisions had been set forth in full in this subdi-
 8 vision and had expressly referred to the applicant for, or the holder
 9 of, an agent's license. Whenever the commissioner shall sell and deliver
 10 to any such agent any such stamps, such agent shall be entitled to
 11 receive as compensation for [his] their services and expenses as such
 12 agent in selling or affixing such stamps, and to retain out of the
 13 moneys to be paid by [him] such agent for such stamps, a commission on
 14 the par value thereof. The commissioner is hereby authorized to
 15 prescribe a schedule of commissions, not exceeding five per centum,
 16 allowable to such agent for buying and affixing such stamps. Such sched-
 17 ule shall be uniform with respect to the different types of stamps used,
 18 and may be on a graduated scale with respect to the number of stamps
 19 purchased. The commissioner may, in [his] their discretion, permit an
 20 agent to pay for such s
