Live 20/40 LHE. Never seen this situation before, what's the correct ruling?

River:
Player A bets $30 and is all-in.
Player B calls the $30.
Player C completes to $40.

B & C still have money behind.

Can Player B re-raise to $60 or must he only call/fold? I think he can raise, because he is call-re-raising C and not A.

In San Jose, he should be able to raise to $80.
In San Jose, wagers less than a full bet do not change your options. Player C made the first complete bet. Player B can, in effect, check-raise him.

Guess San Jose is a backwater that doesn't understand poker.

If they aren't using the "half-bet or more is a complete bet" rule (in limit of course) then you are right. But why would a major poker venue such as San Jose do it in such a way?
