SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECQMMENDATION4St.
REFER the matter of use of tobacco tax(Prop 99) and tobacco settlement agreement revenues to
the Family and Human Services Comrnittee.
For both FY 99-00 and Flt 2000-01, the Board of Supervisors appropriated all of the County's
tobacco master settlement agreement revenues to the Health Services Department. These
revenues are being used to help mitigate the department's revenue expenditure imbalance
caused by declining and inadequate federal and state health care financing coupled with rising
service demands and service costs.
The Health Services Department also receives revenue from the tobacco tax (Prep 99). Enacted
in 1588, Prop 99 increased the tax on cigarettes for a variety of health related purposes, including
indigent health services. Since then, it has been a steadily declining source of revenue.
