Tobacco: retailer disclosures.
Existing law expresses the Legislature’s findings and declarations that smoking is the single most important source of preventable disease and premature death in California.

This bill would require licensed preowned vehicle retailers, as defined, to disclose a tobacco smoke history inspection report, conducted within the 90 days preceding sale of the vehicle, to customers at the point of sale and prior to transfer of ownership.
