About this archived opportunity

In accordance with Proposition 56, funds will be awarded to applicants that demonstrate the capacity to support and/or hire law enforcement officers for programs that include, but are not limited to, enforcing state laws and local ordinances relating to illegal sales and/or marketing of tobacco products to minors and youth, and increasing investigative activities and compliance checks of tobacco retailers and online services that deliver tobacco products to reduce illegal sale of tobacco products to minors and youth. More information about the evaluation criteria is contained in the Grantee Handbook. Any local public agency within the State of California that has authority to enforce tobacco-related state laws or local ordinances is eligible to apply. This may include cities, counties, public school districts, public college districts, law enforcement agencies, city attorneys and county counsels. Grantees may use grant funds to enforce a local ordinance or state law related to the illegal sale and marketing of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, to minors and youth. These enforcement efforts may include, but are not limited to: retailer compliance checks, enforcement of flavor ban laws/ordinances, consumer protection enforcement, illegal online sales and marketing, retailer training programs, public education outreach, and tobacco retail license inspections. Eligible agencies with an existing Tobacco Grant award may submit a proposal to supplement the objectives of their existing award; a proposal for a new award to fund new objectives; or if their grant is expiring, a new grant award. keywords: education, law enforcement, tobacco enforcement, vaping, vape, tobacco, enforcement, schools, Prop 56, prevention, healthcare
