with this section, including, but not limited to, a list by brand family of the total

period of five years, maintain, and make available to the director and the Attorney

General, all invoices and documentation of sales of all cigarettes sold by the licensed

distributor or holder of a certificate of authority that were manufactured by a non-participating

received under P.L.2003, c. 25 ( C.52:4D-4 et seq. ) or requested by the Attorney General for purposes of determining compliance with

and enforcing the provisions of P.L.2003, c. 25 ( C.52:4D-4 et seq. ) . The director and Attorney General shall share with each other the information received

under P.L.2003, c. 25 ( C.52:4D-4 et seq. ) , and may share such information with other federal, State or local agencies only

for purposes of enforcement of P.L.2003, c. 25 ( C.52:4D-4 et seq. ) , P.L.1999, c. 148 ( C.52:4D-1 et seq. ), or the corresponding laws of other states , and with the data clearinghouse or similar entity established pursuant to the settlement

with respect to the non-participating manufacturer adjustment, as such adjustment

is described in the provisions of section IX(d) of the Master Settlement Agreement . c. The Attorney General may require at any time that a non-participating manufacturer

provide from the financial institution in which the manufacturer has established a

qualified escrow fund for the purpose of compliance with P.L.1999, c. 148 ( C.52:4D-1 et seq. ), proof of the amount of money in the fund being held on behalf of the State and

the dates of deposits, and listing the amounts of all withdrawals from the fund and

the dates thereof. d. In addition to the information required to be submitted pursuant to this section,

the director or Attorney General may require a stamping agent, licensed distributor,

holder of a certificate of authority pursuant to section 6 of P.L.1990, c. 39 ( C.54:40B-6 ), or tobacco product manufacturer to submit any additional information including,

but not limited to, samples of the packaging or labeling of each brand family, as

is necessary to enable the Attorney General to determine whether a tobacco product

manufacturer is in compliance with this act. e. To promote compliance with the provisions of P.L.2003, c. 25 ( C.52:4D-4 et seq. ) , the Attorney General may promulgate regulations requiring a tobacco product manufacturer

subject to the requirements of paragraph (2) of subsection a. of section 3 of P.L.2003, c. 25 ( C.52:4D-6 ) to make the escrow deposits required in more frequent installments during the year

in which the sales covered by the deposits are made. The Attorney General may require production of information sufficient to enable

the Attorney General to determine the adequacy of the amount of the installment deposit.
