DATE . April 14, 1986 Courty
SUBJECT: Legislation: Senate Bill 1494 (Hart)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for SB 1494 by Senator Hart.
BACKGROUND:
Senator Hart has introduced SB 1494 which would require the State
Director of Health Services to develop educational programs
regarding the danger to human health from the use of smokeless
tobacco products. SB 1494 would also tax tobacco products at a
rate of 35% of the wholesale cost of the product, and would
provide that this revenue would be used for the tobacco products '
education tax fund for purposes of educating the public regarding
the dangers of tobacco and smokeless tobacco products.
Since SB 1494 furthers the position of the Board of Supervisors
in opposition to smoking, it is appropriate for the Board to
support SB 1494.
