On March 1, 2024, the Sugary Drinks Distributor Tax Advisory Committee (SDDTAC) submitted its annual report and budget recommendations to the Mayor, the Board of Supervisors, and SF residents. The role of the SDDTAC has been critical to inform funding priorities and ensure that the SDDT funding is accountable and aligned with key values for decreasing sugary drink consumption and increasing healthy eating and active living.
Each year, the Committee makes two-year budget recommendations to coincide with the City’s two-year budget cycle. The Committee expects new information will emerge during the course of the year from funded organizations, ongoing community input, new data and evidence, etc. that will inform potential changes to its second-year budget recommendations.
This year’s report includes appendices such as the 2023 SDDT Data Report which evaluates the impact of the SDDT on beverage prices, consumer purchasing behavior, and public health as well as the SDDT FY 2022-2023 Evaluation Report which captures the impact of the SDDT.
Now that the annual report and budget recommendations have been submitted, it’s time for community members and advocates to encourage the Mayor and Board of Supervisors to follow the SDDTAC budget recommendations.
