This resolution directs the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to conduct a performance audit of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health's Tobacco Policy and Control Program, specifically focusing on the investigations of tobacco outlets within the city. The Tobacco Policy and Control Program was established to address tobacco use and its health implications, aiming to reduce smoking rates and promote smoke-free environments. The program is funded by a state grant, which allocated $408,645 for the fiscal year 2024 to support various initiatives aimed at reducing health complications related to tobacco use.

Concerns have been raised regarding the systematic and uniform enforcement of tobacco restrictions through the program's investigations. As a result, the resolution mandates that the performance audit assess the program's performance measures and objectives. The Legislative Budget and Finance Committee is required to report its findings and conclusions to the House of Representatives within 18 months of the resolution's adoption.
