Background: Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax Fund (Measure HH)
The Sugar Sweetened Beverage (SSB) Distribution Tax Ordinance was established in November 2016, when over sixty-one percent of Oakland voters expressed the need to reduce the health consequences of consuming sugar-sweetened beverages by approving Measure HH. Measure HH established the tax of 1 cent per fluid ounce on the distribution of sugar-sweetened beverages in Oakland and required the establishment of a Community Advisory Board to make recommendations to the City of Oakland Council on the expenditure of revenues generated by the general excise tax.
The goals of Measure HH include to establish and/or fund programs to reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages; and to support health education and physical activity programs to improve the health of Oakland residents, especially for those most impacted by health disparities and the chronic diseases associated with the consumption of sugar.
