DATE'. April 14, 1986 CQuq/
SUBJECT: Legislation: Senate Bill 1491 (Petris)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for SB 1491 by Senator Nicholas
Petris.
BACKGROUND:
Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to sell tobacco products to a
minor. Senator Petris has introduced SB 1491 which, in addition,
would impose fines ranging from $500 to $1500 for a first
offense, and from $750 to $6000 for each subsequent offense
occurring within three years after the previous offense.
SB 1491 would also require every person or firm which sells
smokeless tobacco products to post a conspicuous warning as to
the addictive and possible cancer-causing nature of smokeless
tobacco, and would impose fines for violations of this posting
requirement.
Since SB 1491 furthers the Board' s position in opposition to
smoking and use of potentially dangerous smokeless tobacco
products, it is appropriate for the Board to support SB 1491.
