Revenues explores past efforts to levy taxes and fees to identify and
analyze lessons for future proposals to create funding streams for
prevention in California. The report focuses primarily on past public
health initiatives that attempted to tax or impose fees on consumer goods or
businesses, including tobacco, soft drinks, snack foods, alcohol, and
lead-based product manufacturers.
