This bill would define the term “smoking” for purposes of the STAKE Act. The bill would also change the STAKE Act’s definition of “tobacco products” to include electronic devices, such as electronic cigarettes, that deliver nicotine or other vaporized liquids, and make furnishing the tobacco product to a minor a misdemeanor.

Existing law, the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Law, imposes a tax on the distribution of cigarettes and tobacco products at specified rates, and defines tobacco products for those purposes. Existing law, the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Licensing Act of 2003, requires the State Board of Equalization to administer a statewide program to license manufacturers, importers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers of cigarettes and tobacco products, as defined. Under existing law, a violation of this act is a misdemeanor. Existing law requires a retailer to have in place and maintain a license to engage in the sale of cigarettes or tobacco products, as defined, and prescribes procedures for the issuance of and grounds for revocation or suspension of a license. Existing law requires a retailer who seeks to obtain a license to engage in the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products to pay a one-time license fee of $100, as specified. Existing law authorizes the State Board of Equalization or a law enforcement agency that discovers that a retailer or other person possesses, stores, owns, or has made a retail sale of tobacco products on which a tax is due but has not been paid to seize those products, and deems those products forfeited, as specified.

This bill would include in the definition of tobacco products for the purposes of those provisions relating to licenses for retailers the STAKE Act’s new definition of tobacco products. begin delete This bill would require a retailer that seeks to sell a tobacco product that is not subject to imposition of a tax under the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Law to pay a one-time license fee to engage in the sale of that product, as specified. end delete begin insert The bill would impose a specified fee on retailers, to be submitted with each license or renewal application for the sale or distribution of tobacco products that are not subject to a tax imposed by the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Law, unless the retailer is already in possession of a valid license to sell cigarette and tobacco products that are subject to that tax. end insert The bill would begin delete except end delete begin insert include end insert the STAKE Act’s new definition of tobacco products begin delete from end delete begin insert in end insert the provision authorizing seizure of tobacco products described above.

Existing law makes it a crime for a person or entity to engage in the business of selling cigarettes or tobacco products without a valid license or after a license has been suspended or revoked, as specified. Existing law also makes it a crime for a person to continue selling or gifting cigarettes or tobacco products without a valid license or after a notification of suspension or revocation, as specified.

This bill would include in the definition of tobacco products for the purposes of those provisions the STAKE Act’s new definition of tobacco products. The bill would require all cartridges for electronic cigarettes and solutions for filling or refilling an electronic cigarette to be in begin delete childproof end delete begin insert child-resistant end insert packaging, as prescribed. The bill would make these provisions operative on October 1, 2016.

Existing law prohibits the smoking of cigarettes and other tobacco products in a variety of specified areas. Under existing law, a violation of some of these prohibitions is punishable as an infraction.

This bill would change the location restrictions for smoking cigarettes and other tobacco products to reflect the STAKE Act’s definitions of smoking and tobacco products. The bill would make the use of electronic cigarettes in some of these restricted locations a violation punishable as an infraction.

Existing law prohibits the smoking of medical marijuana in any place where smoking is prohibited by law.

This bill would declare that its provisions do not affect any law or regulation regarding medical marijuana.

begin insert

This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 6404.5 of the Labor Code proposed by certain bills in the 2nd Extraordinary Session of the 2015-16 Legislative Session that would become operative if this bill and those bills are enacted, as specified, and this bill is enacted last.

end insert begin insert

This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 22958 of the Business and Professions Code and Section 308 of the Penal Code proposed by SB 7 and AB 8 in the 2nd Extraordinary Session of the 2015-16 Legislative Session. Those other bills would prohibit selling, advertising, or furnishing tobacco products to, or the purchasing of tobacco products by, persons under 21 years of age. If this bill and those bills are enacted, as specified, and this bill is enacted last, then this bill would prohibit selling, advertising, or furnishing an electronic device that delivers nicotine or other vaporized liquids, as specified, to persons under 21 years of age.

end insert

By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

concern. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section
to prohibit the smoking of tobacco products in all (100 percent of)
enclosed places of employment in this state, as covered by this
section, thereby eliminating the need of local governments to enact
workplace smoking restrictions within their respective jurisdictions.
It is further the intent of the Legislature to create a uniform
statewide standard to restrict and prohibit the smoking of tobacco
products in enclosed places of employment, as specified in this
section, in order to reduce employee exposure to environmental
tobacco smoke to a level that will prevent anything other than
insignificantly harmful effects to exposed employees, and also to
eliminate the confusion and hardship that can result from enactment
or enforcement of disparate local workplace smoking restrictions.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, it is the intent
of the Legislature that any area not defined as a “place of
employment” pursuant to subdivision (d) or in which the smoking
of tobacco products is not regulated pursuant to subdivision (e)

(b) No employer shall knowingly or intentionally permit, and
no person shall engage in, the smoking of tobacco products in an

(e) Paragraphs (13) and (14) of subdivision (d) shall not be

prohibit smoking in the gaming club, bar, or tavern until
compliance or conformity is achieved. If the Occupational Safety
and Health Standards Board and the federal Environmental

(B) of paragraph (1) that are inconsistent, the regulations of the
Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board shall be no less
stringent than the regulations of the federal Environmental
Protection Agency.

(3) If a regulation specified in subparagraph (B) of paragraph
(1) is not adopted on or before January 1, 1998, the exemptions
specified in paragraphs (7) and (8) of subdivision (d) shall become

constitute a uniform statewide standard for regulating the smoking
of tobacco products in enclosed places of employment and shall
supersede and render unnecessary the local enactment or
enforcement of local ordinances regulating the smoking of tobacco
products in enclosed places of employment. Insofar as the smoking
prohibition set forth in this section is applicable to all 100 percent
places of employment within this state and, therefore, provides
the maximum degree of coverage, the practical effect of this section
is to eliminate the need of local governments to enact enclosed
workplace smoking restrictions within their respective jurisdictions.

(h) Nothing in this section shall prohibit an employer from
prohibiting smoking of tobacco products in an enclosed place of
employment for any reason.

(i) The enactment of local regulation of smoking of tobacco

(100 percent) smoking prohibition provided for in this section
remains in effect. In the event this section is repealed or modified
by subsequent legislative or judicial action so that the (100 percent)
smoking prohibition is no longer applicable to all enclosed places
of employment in California, local governments shall have the full
right and authority to enforce previously enacted, and to enact and
enforce new, restrictions on the smoking of tobacco products in
enclosed places of employment within their jurisdictions, including
a complete prohibition of smoking. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this section, any area not defined as a “place of
employment” or in which smoking is not regulated pursuant to
subdivision (d) or (e), shall be subject to local regulation of
smoking of tobacco products.

(j) Any violation of the prohibition set forth in subdivision (b)
is an infraction, punishable by a fine not to exceed one hundred
dollars ($100) for a first violation, two hundred dollars ($200) for
a second violation within one year, and five hundred dollars ($500)
for a third and for each subsequent violation within one year. This
subdivision shall be enforced by local law enforcement agencies,
including, but not limited to, local health departments, as
determined by the local governing body.

(k) Notwithstanding Section 6309, the division shall not be
required to respond to any complaint regarding the smoking of
tobacco products in an enclosed space at a place of employment,
unless the employer has been found guilty pursuant to subdivision
(j) of a third violation of subdivision (b) within the previous year.

(l) If any provision of this act or the application thereof to any
person or circumstances is held invalid, that invalidity shall not
affect other provisions or applications of the act that can be given
effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end
the provisions of this act are severable.

meaning as in subdivision (c) of Section 22950.5 of the Business
