California Proposition 10 (1998)
- California Proposition 10 (1998)
Prop. 10 (1998) California Children and Families First Act.
- State and County Early Childhood Development Programs.- Additional Tobacco Surtax.- (placed a 50-cent per pack tax on cigarettes to fund early childhood development programs)- (If the current [2006] tobacco tax hike passes, Prop. 10 program funding will likely fall short due to declining cigarette sales)
Proposition 10 created The California Children and Families Commission, which supports children from prenatal to age five. It did this by creating a comprehensive and integrated system of information and services to promote early childhood development and school readiness. Voters approved of the initiative in 1998, which added a 50 cent-per-pack tax to cigarettes and a comparable tax to other tobacco products. It is expected that Prop. 10 has generated approximately $700 million annually since inception.
Proposition 10 was the second tobacco tax measure that was enacted in California. It preceded by the 1988 California Proposition 99, The Tobacco Tax and Health Protection Act.
