Summary

Existing law regulates the promotion and sale of cigarette and other tobacco products in this state, and requires any tobacco product manufacturer selling cigarettes to consumers within the state that is a participating manufacturer, as defined in the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) , or a non-participating manufacturer that makes required escrow payments to provide annual certifications to the Attorney General for purposes of a directory. Under the MSA, states' attorneys general and various tobacco product manufacturers have entered into an agreement, in settlement of various lawsuits against those manufacturers, for recovery of the states' tobacco-related health care costs, which provides for the allocation of money to the states and certain territories. Existing law authorizes the State Board of Equalization to disclose to the Attorney General any information received under the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Law for purposes of determining compliance with, and enforcing specified provisions of, that law, laws relating to the Master Settlement Agreement, and any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. This bill would authorize the board to disclose to the Attorney General any information received under the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Law for purposes of determining compliance with and enforcing the Master Settlement Agreement. Existing law requires the board and Attorney General to share with each other specified information, and allows that information to be shared with other federal, state, or local agencies for purposes of enforcement of specified laws. This bill would authorize this information also to be shared for purposes of determining compliance with, and enforcement of, specified laws and the Master Settlement Agreement. This bill would allow the Attorney General to share that information with any data clearinghouse or other entity performing duties under the Master Settlement Agreement.
