Existing law, the California Cigarette and Tobacco Licensing Act of 2003, requires a retailer to obtain a license from the State Board of Equalization to engage in the sale of cigarette and tobacco products in California. Existing law, the Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement Act, or STAKE Act, establishes various requirements for retailers relating to tobacco sales to minors. Existing law also makes it a misdemeanor for a retailer to knowingly or under circumstances in which it has knowledge, or should otherwise have grounds for knowledge, sell, give, or in any way furnish a minor with tobacco products or paraphernalia. Under existing law, violations of the STAKE Act or the above-described misdemeanor provision result in board action, on a set schedule, relating to the licensure of the retailer when the youth purchase survey finds that 13% or more of youth are able to purchase cigarettes. Existing law makes the board's authority inoperative when a youth purchase survey shows less than 13% of youth were able to purchase cigarettes. Under existing law, enforcing agencies assess civil penalties in prescribed amounts against a person, firm, or corporation that sells, gives, or in any way furnishes to a person under 18 years of age specified tobacco products. Moneys from these penalties are deposited in the Sale of Tobacco to Minors Control Account in the State Treasury. This bill would remove the schedule for board action in response to the occurrence of a violation, as defined, of the STAKE Act or the misdemeanor provision. The bill would declare that these changes would not result in the limitation or termination of specified board investigations and actions. The bill would require the board to assess a civil penalty and to suspend or revoke a retailer's license, as specified, for the 3rd, 4th, or 5th violation. The bill would require the assessment of an additional civil penalty, as specified, to be deposited in the existing Cigarette and Tobacco Products Compliance Fund, which would be made available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to fund these suspension and revocation activities.
