Bill Awaits Governor's Review Requiring Tobacco Retailers to Display Health Campaign Signs
What happened
California Senate Bill 1124, introduced by Bob Archuleta, proposes new requirements for tobacco retailers in the state. The bill mandates that these retailers display signs promoting lung cancer screening awareness, which must be created by the State Department of Public Health. If retailers do not comply by January 1, 2028, the state could impose penalties including fines of $500, license revocation, or misdemeanor charges.
