BACKGROUND
This item is on the agenda to register the City of Santa Clarita's opposition
for AB 3927 which addresses the distribution of tobacco products to minors.
The bill would provide that any person who violates the provision of law which
regulates the advertising and distribution of smokeless tobacco is guilty of an
infraction punishable by a fine of $100.00 for the first offense, $200 00 for
the second and $500.00 -for the third offense. It also provides the same penalty
to those who give or in anyway furnish to anyone under 18 years of age, tobacco
or tobacco products.
This bill would pre-empt a local authority from enacting ordinances on the same
subject matter. Specific wording within the bill states:
It is the legislative intent to regulate the subject matter of this
sector. As a result, no City, County or City and County shall adopt, any
ordinance inconsistent with this section.
The tobacco industry is the major proponent of of AB 3967.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council oppose AB 3967 and authorize staff to send .letters of
opposition.
