The 2009 legislative session of the California Legislature was a busy session for tobacco-related bills. There were bills to create new smokefree areas at hospitals, parks and beaches, bills to restrict the issuance of tobacco retailer licenses, and a spate of tobacco tax bills that were considered and voted on. However, in the end only one tobacco-related bill was signed into law (SB 53, which authorizes the Attorney General to negotiate amendments to the Master Settlement Agreement).
All of this action from a busy 2009 legislative session is captured in the attached 2009 Tobacco Vote Record. There are essentially three parts to this document:
· The first section is a recap of the legislative activity around all of the tobacco-related bills that were introduced in the 2009 session, including the final status of each bill showing which bills the Governor signed and vetoed. This section includes the tobacco control position for each bill which is represented by the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association and American Lung Association in California.
· The second section is the actual Tobacco Vote Record. These tables show how every member of the Assembly and Senate voted on all of the tobacco-related bills that received at least one floor vote during this session.
· The final section is a recap of all the activity around bills to increase the state tobacco tax. Ultimately, an increase in the state tobacco tax was not adopted, but there was a lot of activity related to allocating a tobacco tax as part of the budget legislation and related to SB 600, which was sponsored by the major voluntary health organizations. This Q&A provides a synopsis of all the tobacco tax bills introduced in the 2009 legislative session.
