Summary

Existing federal law requires all public housing agencies, as defined, to implement a policy prohibiting the use of tobacco products in all public housing living units, interior areas, and outdoor areas within 25 feet of public housing and administrative office buildings, except in designated smoking areas, by July 30, 2018. This bill would require all public housing agencies, as defined, to implement a policy prohibiting the smoking of tobacco products, as defined, in all public housing living units, interior areas, and outdoor areas within 25 feet of public housing and administrative buildings, except in designated smoking areas, by July 30, 2018. The bill would exempt dwelling units in a mixed-finance project from these provisions. The bill would encourage those public housing agencies to adopt a graduated enforcement framework for their smoke-free policies, as specified. By increasing the duties of local public housing agencies, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
