full face value of any cigarette taxes payable thereon, and then, on
the resultant sum, the retail markup of eight per cent [.] as herein
provided, in the absence of proof of a lower aggregate cost of doing
business by such retailer or vending machine operator, as the case
may be; provided, however, that if the discount received by such
retailer or vending machine operator shall be less than that ordinarily
allowed to wholesalers, then the wholesaler's markup of [four] five
per cent [.] above provided for may be reduced by the difference
between the discount ordinarily allowed to wholesalers and the
discount received by such retailer or vending machine operator.

(d) When one wholesaler sells cigarettes to any other wholesaler
or vending machine operator, as herein denned, the former shall not
be required to include in his selling price to the latter, "cost (to]
of the wholesaler," as provided by Section 118(a) of this article,
but said seller must include in said selling price "basic cost of cig-
arettes" as defined in Section 118 (b) of this article, plus a charge of
1% thereon, in the absence of satisfactory proof of a lesser cost for
the rendition of such service by the seller, [except that no such sale
shall be made at a price less than the "basic cost of cigarettes" as
denned in Section 118(b) of this article, but] and the latter whole-
saler, upon resale to a retailer, shall be deemed to be the wholesaler
governed by the provisions of said [Section] subsections 118 (a) and
(b) of this article.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That any licensee who is duly
licensed on the effective date hereof pursuant to Section 66 of Ar-
ticle 56 of this Code, shall be entitled and qualified to renew such
license annually hereafter notwithstanding the provisions of Section
117(c) (2) of this Act.

Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1967.

Approved April 14, 1967.
