The Commissioner of Revenue Services shall secure stamps or heat-applied decals, of such design and denomination as he prescribes, suitable to be affixed to packages of cigarettes as evidence of the payment of the tax imposed by this chapter. He shall sell such stamps or decals (a) to licensed distributors to be affixed to packages of cigarettes to be sold on or after September 1, 1971, at a discount of one per cent from their face value and (b) to licensed dealers at their face value. The commissioner may, in his discretion, permit a licensed distributor or licensed dealer to pay for such stamps or decals within thirty days after the date of purchase, provided a bond or other security satisfactory to the commissioner in an amount not less than the sale price of such stamps or decals shall have been filed with the commissioner conditioned upon payment for such stamps or decals. The bond or other security shall be in full force and effect for a period of three years and one month following the expiration of the license or such other period as the commissioner may determine, unless a certificate is issued by the commissioner to the effect that all taxes due the state have been paid. He shall keep accurate records of all stamps or decals sold to each distributor and dealer and shall pay over all receipts from the sale of stamps or decals to the State Treasurer daily as herein provided.
