Ozark council fails to advance excise tax on consumable vapor products
Summary
An ordinance to levy a local excise tax on consumable vapor products was introduced Sept. 2, 2025, but failed for lack of a second and received no recorded vote or debate.
An ordinance to levy a local excise tax on the sale of consumable vapor products was introduced during the Ozark City Council meeting on Sept. 2, 2025, but the motion failed for lack of a second and did not advance.
A councilmember said, "Madam president, I introduce the ordinance to levy a local excise tax on the sale of consumable vapor products." The presiding officer twice asked for a second; when none was offered the presiding officer said the motion failed for lack of a second. No further debate or a formal vote was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The ordinance was presented only in that initial introduction; the transcript does not specify an ordinance number, proposed tax rate, effective date or any staff report. The council did not refer the measure to a committee, set a public hearing or indicate next steps during the meeting.
Because the motion failed without a second, no vote tally or roll-call was recorded. The record shows no discussion of impacts, revenue estimates or exemptions for the proposed excise tax.
The transcript does not specify whether the ordinance will be reintroduced at a future meeting.
