School Policy

• In 2010 General Session of Utah Legislature, Rep
  Ronda Menlove sponsored HB 88 which states
• Local boards of education shall adopt rules that
  prohibit the illicit use, possession or
  distribution of an e-cigarette at school
• The GYC will also be presenting this info at a
  future school board meeting for consideration

What can you do?

• Stay informed!
• If you see an e-cigarette, report it the same way
  you would for traditional cigarettes! (counselor,
  principal, school resource officer, etc.)
• Talk to your school board about current school
  policy!
