California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 8.5 — Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement ActSection 22964
This division sets forth minimum state restrictions with respect to the legal age to purchase or possess tobacco products and does not preempt or otherwise prohibit the adoption of a local standard that imposes a more restrictive legal age to purchase or possess tobacco products. A local standard that imposes a more restrictive legal age to purchase or possess tobacco products shall control in the event of any inconsistency between this division and a local standard.
Notes
Establishes the division as minimum statewide restrictions on the legal age to purchase or possess tobacco products while allowing local governments to adopt a more restrictive legal age. Requires the more restrictive local standard to control whenever it conflicts with the division, so the state rule does not preempt stricter local age requirements.
