(1) "Equitable allocation of private trust funds among tobacco growers and tobacco quota owners within the state" means the formula, proportion, or other basis which fairly distributes private trust funds among active tobacco growers and tobacco quota owners, taking into account their respective losses and the other adverse effects they respectively suffer from declines or anticipated declines in domestic cigarette consumption caused by the Master Settlement Agreement and such other substantially related factors as the board may determine.
(2) "Master Settlement Agreement" means the settlement agreement (and related documents) entered into on November 23, 1998, by the state and leading United States tobacco product manufacturers. The Master Settlement Agreement has been transmitted by the Attorney General to the Secretary of State and shall be maintained as a permanent record in the office of the Secretary of State, together with the enrolled Act by which this chapter is enacted. The Master Settlement Agreement shall not be published with the Act, but the Secretary of State shall, upon request and payment of copying costs, make a copy or certified copy of such document available to any member of the public.
