California state Senator Bill Monning (D- Carmel) has reintroduced a soda tax bill that has failed once before.

S.B. 622 would impose a penny-per-ounce tax on sugar sweetened beverages in California. The money raised would go toward health and education programs aimed at reducing childhood obesity.

Poll shows that more than half of Californians would support a soda tax if the money was used to improve school nutrition and physical education.
