(2) According to a 2004 analysis of the 2003 CIR Compendium by the Environmental Working Group, 54 cosmetic products violate the CIR’s own safe use recommendations to manufacturers by containing an ingredient that the CIR has found is not safe for the specific use indicated on the product’s label.

(3) Federal regulations (21 C.F.R. 740.10) require every ingredient in a cosmetic product and every finished cosmetic product to be adequately substantiated for safety prior to marketing, and state that any ingredient or product whose safety has not been adequately substantiated prior to marketing is misbranded unless it displays a warning statement declaring, “The safety of this product has not been determined.”

(b) The division may, as early as feasible within existing resources, determine whether the products identified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) have been adequately substantiated for safety pursuant to Section 740.10 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations. For any product adequately substantiated for safety, the division shall determine if the product contains any ingredient that the CIR has found is not safe for the specific use indicated on the product’s label.

(c) If the division finds that a product has been adequately substantiated for safety despite containing an ingredient that the CIR has found is not safe for the specific use indicated on the product’s label, the division shall refer its findings to the Attorney General and the federal Food and Drug Administration for possible enforcement action pursuant to this part and the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.

(a) Violation of any of the provisions of a district regulation adopted pursuant to Section 31144 may be abated as a public nuisance by the district, and the board of directors may by regulation establish a procedure for the abatement of such a nuisance and to assess the cost of abatement to the violator.

(b) The amount of any costs incurred by the district in abating such a nuisance upon real property shall be added to the annual taxes next levied upon the real property subject to abatement and shall constitute a lien upon that real property as of the same time and in the same manner as does the tax lien securing those annual taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection, and enforcement of district taxes shall be applicable to the assessment, except that if any real property to which the lien would attach has been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value, or if a lien of a bona fide encumbrancer for value has been created and attached thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of those taxes would become delinquent, then a lien which would otherwise be imposed by this section shall not attach to the real property and the delinquent and unpaid charges relating to the property shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection.

(a) The state board, after providing notice to the permittee and opportunity for a hearing, may suspend or revoke any permit issued pursuant to this chapter if the state board determines pursuant to the hearing that the permittee is not complying with the permit, this chapter, or any regulation, standard, or order issued or adopted thereunder, or that the permittee has made a false statement or representation on any application, record, or report maintained or submitted for purposes of compliance with this chapter. If the permittee does not request a hearing within the period specified in the notice, the state board may suspend or revoke the permit without a hearing. If the permittee submits a timely request for a hearing, the hearing shall be before the state board or a member of the state board, in accordance with Section 183 of the Water Code and the rules for adjudicative proceedings adopted under Section 185 of the Water Code. If the permit at issue has been temporarily suspended pursuant to subdivision (b), the notice shall be provided within 15 days of the effective date of the temporary suspension order. The commencement of the hearing under this subdivision shall be as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the effective date of the temporary suspension order, unless the state board grants an extension of the 60 day period upon request of the permittee.

(b) The state board may temporarily suspend any permit issued pursuant to this chapter before any hearing when the action is necessary to prevent an imminent or substantial danger to health. The state board shall notify the permittee of the temporary suspension and the effective date of the temporary suspension and, at the same time, notify the permittee that a hearing has been scheduled. The hearing shall be held as soon as possible, but not later than 15 days after the effective date of the temporary suspension unless the state board grants an extension of the 15-day period upon request of the permittee, and shall deal only with the issue of whether the temporary suspension shall remain in place pending a hearing under subdivision (a).

The temporary suspension shall remain in effect until the hearing under this subdivision is completed and the state board has made a final determination on the temporary suspension, which shall be made within 15 days after the completion of the hearing unless the state board grants an extension of the 15-day period upon request of the permittee. If the determination is not transmitted within 15 days after the hearing is completed, or any extension of this period requested by the permittee, the temporary suspension shall be of no further effect. Dissolution of the temporary suspension does not deprive the state board of jurisdiction to proceed with a hearing on the merits under subdivision (a).

Status: in_force

(a)  The Legislature finds and declares as follows:

(1)  Smoking is the single most important source of preventable disease and premature death in California.

(2)  More than 30 percent of coronary heart disease cases are attributable to cigarette smoking.

(3)  More than 30 percent of all annual cancer deaths are attributable to smoking, with lung cancer now the leading cancer killer in women as well as men.

(4)  Smoking is responsible for one-quarter of all deaths caused by fire.

(5)  Involuntary smoking is a cause of disease, including lung cancer, in healthy nonsmokers.

(6)  More than 80 percent of chronic obstructive lung diseases including emphysema and chronic bronchitis are attributable to smoking.

(7)  Tobacco-related disease places a tremendous financial burden upon the persons with the disease, their families, the health care delivery system, and society as a whole. California spends five billion six hundred million dollars ($5,600,000,000) a year in direct and indirect costs on smoking-related illnesses.

(8)  The elimination of smoking is the number one weapon against four of the five leading causes of death in California.

(9)  Keeping children and young adults from beginning to use tobacco and encouraging all persons to quit tobacco use shall be the highest priority in disease prevention for the State of California. More than 60 percent of all smokers begin smoking by the age of 14, and 90 percent begin by the age of 19.

(10)  The State of California shall play a leading role in promoting a smoke-free society by the year 2000 and thereby supporting the National Health Status Objectives for the year 2000 relating to smoking and tobacco use.

(b)  It is the intent of the Legislature, therefore, to require the department, local lead agencies, and the State Department of Education to cooperatively and individually conduct activities directed at the prevention of tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases. The campaign shall focus on health promotion, disease prevention, and risk reduction, utilizing a “wellness” perspective that encourages self-esteem and positive decisionmaking techniques. It is also the intent of the Legislature that, for the purpose of program planning and program evaluation, the department provide data and technical information on tobacco-related diseases, tobacco use and its consequences, and effective personal and community interventions to prevent tobacco use.
