SB1295

Public schools; tobacco products and nicotine vapor products.

Status:
Enacted

Chief Patron:
Lionell Spruill, Sr (D)

Session:
2019 Regular Session

Summary

As Passed Both Chambers. Public schools; tobacco products and nicotine vapor products.

Requires each school board to (i) develop and implement a policy to prohibit the use and distribution of tobacco products and nicotine vapor products on a school bus, on school property, or at an on-site or off-site school-sponsored activity and (ii) include in its code of student conduct a prohibition against possessing tobacco products or nicotine vapor products on a school bus, on school property, or at an on-site or off-site school-sponsored activity. Current law only places these requirements on each school board with regard to electronic cigarettes. The bill requires such policy to include adequate provisions for enforcement among students, employees, and visitors, including the enumeration of possible sanctions or disciplinary action consistent with state or federal law, and referrals to resources to help staff and students overcome tobacco addiction. This bill is identical to HB 2384. (Less)
