How is the California Smoke-free Workplace Law (Assembly Bill 13/3037) implemented and enforced in El Dorado County?
This health law went into effect January 1, 1995, and assures most employees throughout California a smoke-free place to work (since environmental tobacco smoke is a “Class A” carcinogen – in the same category as asbestos). On January 1, 1998, the law extended to cover all bars, restaurants with bars, nightclubs, and other indoor areas of entertainment where people work. TUPP educates the community (including businesses, employees, patrons, city officials, and law enforcement agencies) and answers questions regarding the law, its rationale, what areas are included, and its enforcement. Complaints that are alleging business noncompliance may be directed to TUPP at (530) 621-6197 in Placerville and (530) 573-3191 in South Lake Tahoe. At this point, TUPP will document the complaint; send out a letter(s) to the business asking for compliance (with a copy sent to the law enforcement agency and district Attorney’s office in that jurisdiction). Businesses are encouraged to call TUPP to review
