This bill revises the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Law to provide the Attorney General and the Department of Justice (Department) enhanced ability to enforce the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (MSA). The bill also provides that the California Cigarette Fire Safety and Firefighter Protection Act is to be administered by the Attorney General instead of the State Fire Marshal, and that proposed markings of cigarette manufacturers are deemed approved if the Attorney General fails to act within 30 days instead of the existing requirement of 10 days.
