Quick answers

Did CA SB 1124 pass?

Yes. CA SB 1124 has been enacted into law. Latest recorded action (2026-09-28): Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 726, Statutes of 2026.

What is CA SB 1124 about?

Existing law establishes, within the California Health and Human Services Agency, the State Department of Public Health, which has authority over various programs promoting public health, including the California Tobacco Control Program. Existing law requires the department to, among other things, establish a program on tobacco use and health to reduce tobacco use in California by conducting health education interventions and behavior change programs at the state level, in the community, and other nonschool settings. Existing law also requires the department to conduct statewide surveillance of tobacco-related behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes and evaluate the department's local and state tobacco control programs. Under existing law, the department funds the Kick It California program, which is a tobacco cessation program. Existing law, the California Cigarette and Tobacco Products Licensing Act of 2003, provides for the licensure by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration of manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, importers, and retailers of cigarette or tobacco products that are engaged in business in California. The act authorizes the department to suspend or revoke a retailer's license or impose a civil penalty for a violation of the act's provisions and requires all moneys collected under the act to be deposited in the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Compliance Fund to be available for expenditure, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for specified uses. Existing law requires a retailer to conspicuously display its license to engage in the sale of cigarettes or tobacco products at each retail location in a manner visible to the public. This bill would require the State Department of Public Health, no later than July 1, 2027, to make available signage to raise lung cancer screening awareness, as specified, which would include, among other things, eligibility criteria for lung cancer screening and the toll-free telephone number of the Kick It California tobacco cessation program. The bill would require the sign to be available at no cost on the department's internet website. The bill would require, beginning January 1, 2028, a retailer, as defined, to conspicuously display the signage at each retail location. The bill would make a retailer who violates that requirement liable for a civil penalty of $500 for each offense at a retail location and would require those penalties to be deposited into the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Compliance Fund.
