of cigarettes and tobacco products except as provided by Section

statewide concern, and it is the Legislature's intent to regulate
the subject matter of cigarette taxes comprehensively and to occupy
the field to the exclusion of local action except as specifically
provided by Section 30111.



30462.1.  Any city may apply to the population research unit of the
Department of Finance to estimate its population. The department may

available adequate information upon which to base the estimate. Not
less than 25 days nor more than 30 days after the completion of the
estimate, the Department of Finance shall file a certified copy
thereof with the Controller if the estimate is greater than the
current certified population. This certification may be made once
each fiscal year.
   All payments under subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of
subdivision (b) of Section 30462 for any allocation subsequent to the
filing of the estimate shall be based upon the population so
estimated until a subsequent certification is made by the Department
of Finance or a subsequent federal decennial census is made.
   Population changes based on a federal or state special census or
estimate validated by the Department of Finance shall be accepted by
the Controller only if certified to him or her at the request of the
Department of Finance. The request shall be made only if the census
or estimate is greater than the current certified population and
shall become effective on the first day of the month following
receipt of the certification.
   The Department of Finance may assess a reasonable charge, not to
exceed the actual cost thereof, for the preparation of population
estimates pursuant to this section, which is a proper charge against
the city applying therefor. The amount received shall be deposited in
the State Treasury as a reimbursement to be credited to the
appropriation from which the expenditure is made.
   As of May 1, 1988, any population estimate prepared by the
Department of Finance pursuant to Section 2227 may be used for all
purposes of this section unless a written request not to certify is
received by the department from the city within 25 days of completion
of the estimate.

attributable to breast cancer among uninsured and underinsured women,
with special emphasis on low-income, Native American, and minority
women. It is also the intent of the Legislature that the communities
served by the Breast Cancer Control Program reflect the ethnic,
racial, cultural, and geographic diversity of the state and that the
Breast Cancer Control Program fund entities where uninsured and
underinsured women are most likely to seek their health care.
   (j) The State Department of Public Health or any entity funded by
the Breast Cancer Control Program shall collect personal and medical
information necessary to administer this program from any individual
applying for services under the program. The information shall be
confidential and shall not be disclosed other than for purposes
directly connected with the administration of this program or except
as otherwise provided by law or pursuant to prior written consent of
the subject of the information.
   The State Department of Public Health or any entity funded by the
Breast Cancer Control Program may disclose the confidential
information to medical personnel and fiscal intermediaries of the
state to the extent necessary to administer this program, and to
other state public health agencies or medical researchers when the
confidential information is necessary to carry out the duties of
those agencies or researchers in the investigation, control, or
surveillance of breast cancer.
   (k) The State Department of Public Health shall adopt regulations
to implement this act in accordance with the rulemaking provisions of
the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with
Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government
Code). The initial adoption of implementing regulations shall be
deemed an emergency and shall be considered as necessary for the
immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, or
general welfare, within the meaning of Section 11346.1 of the
Government Code. Emergency regulations adopted pursuant to this
section shall remain in effect for no more than 180 days.
   (l) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section
that this section supersede and be operative in place of Section
30461.6 of the Revenue and Taxation Code as added by Chapter 660 of
the Statutes of 1993.
   (m) To implement the Breast Cancer Control Program, the State
Department of Public Health may contract, to the extent permitted by
Section 19130 of the Government Code, with public and private
entities, or utilize existing health care service provider enrollment
and payment mechanisms, including the Medi-Cal program's fiscal
intermediary. However, the Medi-Cal program's fiscal intermediary
shall only be utilized if services provided under the program are
specifically identified and reimbursed in a manner that does not
claim federal financial reimbursement. Any contracts with, and the
utilization of, the Medi-Cal program's fiscal intermediary shall not
be subject to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 12100) of Part 2 of
Division 2 of the Public Contract Code. Contracts to implement the
Breast Cancer Control Program entered into by the State Department of
Public Health with entities other than the Medi-Cal program's fiscal
intermediary shall not be subject to Part 2 (commencing with Section
10100) of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code.



30462.  (a) All money deposited in the Cigarette Tax Fund under this
part is hereby appropriated, subject to the provisions of any budget
bill heretofore or hereafter enacted, and shall, upon order of the
Controller, be drawn therefrom and allocated for the following
purposes:
   (1) To pay the refunds authorized by this part.
   (2) The balance remaining in the fund shall be transferred to the
General Fund of this state on or before the last calendar day of each
month.
   (b) It is the intent of the Legislature that Section 30111
continues to prohibit the imposition of local taxes by any city,
charter city, town, county, charter county, city and county, charter
cities and counties, or other political subdivision or agency of this
state, on the sale, use, ownership, holding, or other distribution
of cigarettes and tobacco products except as provided by Section
30111. The Legislature finds and declares that the need for uniform
statewide regulation and collection of cigarette taxes is a matter of
statewide concern, and it is the Legislature's intent to regulate
the subject matter of cigarette taxes comprehensively and to occupy
the field to the exclusion of local action except as specifically
provided by Section 30111.



30462.1.  Any city may apply to the population research unit of the
Department of Finance to estimate its population. The department may
make the estimate if in the opinion of the department there is
available adequate information upon which to base the estimate. Not
less than 25 days nor more than 30 days after the completion of the
estimate, the Department of Finance shall file a certified copy
thereof with the Controller if the estimate is greater than the
current certified population. This certification may be made once
each fiscal year.
   All payments under subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of
subdivision (b) of Section 30462 for any allocation subsequent to the
filing of the estimate shall be based upon the population so
estimated until a subsequent certification is made by the Department
of Finance or a subsequent federal decennial census is made.
   Population changes based on a federal or state special census or
estimate validated by the Department of Finance shall be accepted by
the Controller only if certified to him or her at the request of the
Department of Finance. The request shall be made only if the census
or estimate is greater than the current certified population and
shall become effective on the first day of the month following
receipt of the certification.
   The Department of Finance may assess a reasonable charge, not to
exceed the actual cost thereof, for the preparation of population
estimates pursuant to this section, which is a proper charge against
the city applying therefor. The amount received shall be deposited in
the State Treasury as a reimbursement to be credited to the
appropriation from which the expenditure is made.
   As of May 1, 1988, any population estimate prepared by the
Department of Finance pursuant to Section 2227 may be used for all
purposes of this section unless a written request not to certify is
received by the department from the city within 25 days of completion
of the estimate.
