	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 648, as amended, Corbett. Electronic cigarettes: restriction of
use and advertising.
   Existing law defines an electronic cigarette as a device that can
provide an inhalable dose of nicotine by delivering an inhalable
solution. Existing law, to the extent not preempted by federal law,
makes it unlawful for a person to sell or otherwise furnish an
electronic cigarette to a person under 18 years of age.
   Existing law restricts or prohibits the smoking of tobacco
products in various places, including, but not limited to, school
campuses, public buildings, as defined, places of employment, day
care facilities, retail food facilities, and health facilities. Under
existing law, violation of the prohibition against smoking in
certain of these places, including, but not limited to, a day care
facility constitutes a misdemeanor, as specified.
   This bill would extend the above-referenced restrictions and
prohibitions against the smoking of tobacco products to include
electronic cigarettes. By including electronic cigarettes within the
restricted and prohibited activity, this bill would change the
definition of a crime with respect to certain facilities, thereby
creating a state-mandated local program.
   Existing law prohibits the advertising of tobacco products in any
state-owned and state-occupied building, except as specified.
   This bill would extend the above prohibition against advertising
to electronic cigarettes, as defined.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

prefunction areas adjacent to and serving the meeting or banquet

   (g) The smoking prohibition set forth in this section shall
constitute a uniform statewide standard for regulating the smoking of
tobacco products in enclosed places of employment and shall
supersede and render unnecessary the local enactment or enforcement
of local ordinances regulating the smoking of tobacco products in
enclosed places of employment. Insofar as the smoking prohibition set
forth in this section is applicable to all places of employment
within this state and, therefore, provides the maximum degree of
coverage, the practical effect of this section is to eliminate the
need of local governments to enact enclosed workplace smoking
restrictions within their respective jurisdictions.
   (h) Nothing in this section shall prohibit an employer from
prohibiting smoking in an enclosed place of employment for any
reason.
   (i) The enactment of local regulation of smoking of tobacco
products in enclosed places of employment by local governments shall
be suspended only for as long as, and to the extent that, the smoking
prohibition provided for in this section remains in effect. In the
event this section is repealed or modified by subsequent legislative
or judicial action so that the smoking prohibition is no longer
applicable to all enclosed places of employment in California, local
governments shall have the full right and authority to enforce
previously enacted, and to enact and enforce new, restrictions on the
smoking of tobacco products in enclosed places of employment within
their jurisdictions, including a complete prohibition of smoking.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, any area not
defined as a "place of employment" or in which smoking is not
regulated pursuant to subdivision (d) or (e), shall be subject to
local regulation of smoking of tobacco products.
   (j) Any violation of the prohibition set forth in subdivision (b)
is an infraction, punishable by a fine not to exceed one hundred
dollars ($100) for a first violation, two hundred dollars ($200) for
a second violation within one year, and five hundred dollars ($500)
for a third and for each subsequent violation within one year. This
subdivision shall be enforced by local law enforcement agencies,
including, but not limited to, local health departments, as
determined by the local governing body.
   (k) Notwithstanding Section 6309, the division shall not be
required to respond to any complaint regarding the smoking of tobacco
products, in an enclosed space at a place of employment, unless the
employer has been found guilty pursuant to subdivision (j) of a third
violation of subdivision (b) within the previous year.
   (  l  ) If any provision of this act or the application
thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, that
invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the
act that can be given effect without the invalid provision or
application, and to this end the provisions of this act are
severable.
  SEC. 13.  Section 561 of the Public Utilities Code is amended to
read:
   561.  (a) Every railroad corporation, passenger stage corporation,
passenger air carrier, and street railroad corporation providing
departures originating in this state shall prohibit the smoking of
any tobacco product, including an electronic cigarette, in the
passenger seating area of every passenger car, passenger stage,
aircraft, or other vehicle.
   (b) Every such corporation and carrier shall display in the
passenger seating area of every passenger car, passenger stage,
aircraft, or other vehicle, notices sufficient in number, posted in
such locations as to be readily seen by boarding passengers, advising
passengers of the no smoking requirements pursuant to subdivision
(a). Words on such notices which state "No Smoking" or an equivalent
phrase shall be at least three-quarters of one inch high, and any
other explanatory words on the notices shall be at least one-quarter
of an inch high.
   (c) No person shall smoke any tobacco product, including an
electronic cigarette, in a space known by him or her to be designated
for nonsmoking passengers. A violation of this subdivision is not a
crime.

the same meaning as provided in Sections 2741 and 2743.

must be clearly defined in the posting.
   (B) In the event that an eligible discount ticket user is not in

fare evasion or passenger conduct violation shall be issued. The
notice shall set forth the violation, including reference to the
ordinance setting forth the administrative penalty, the date of the

  SEC. 16.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
