City cracking down on illegal tobacco sales
A new tobacco retailers licensing program will add some teeth to existing state requirements and provide the City of Morgan Hill with more funds to conduct decoy operations to nab vendors who might sell cigarettes or other tobacco products to children, city staff said.
The council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance on the advice of the Morgan Hill Police Department. Capt. Jerry Neumayer said just before the council’s decision that the program would advance the council’s goals of “supporting youth and enhancing public safety priorities.”
