Assembly Bill

No. 2546

Introduced by Assembly Member Grayson

February 19, 2020

An act to amend Section 1596.795 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to care facilities.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2546, as introduced, Grayson. Family daycare homes: prohibition on smoking.

The California Child Day Care Facilities Act prohibits the smoking of a tobacco product in a private residence that is licensed as a family daycare home, both in the home and in those areas of the family daycare home where children are present. The act specifies that a city or county is not prohibited from enacting or enforcing an ordinance relating to smoking in a family daycare home if the ordinance is more stringent than the prohibition under the act.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
