This bill died with 2015-2016 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law generally prohibits the operation of a place of business in which drug paraphernalia is sold unless the drug paraphernalia is kept within a separate room or enclosure to which persons under 18 years of age who are not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian are excluded. Existing law prohibits an owner or person in charge of such a room or enclosure from allowing any person under 18 years of age to enter the room or enclosure unless accompanied by his or her parents or legal guardian, and prohibits a person under 18 years of age from being in that room or enclosure unless accompanied by his or her parents or legal guardian. Under existing law, a violation of these provisions is not a criminal offense but is grounds for the denial, revocation, or nonrenewal of any license, permit, or other entitlement issued for the privilege of engaging in that business. This bill would instead prohibit a person from maintaining or operating a place of business in which drug paraphernalia sold, except as authorized by law.
