TO PROHIBIT THE POSSESSION OF TOBACCO, TOBACCO PRODUCTS, AND E-CIGARETTES BY STUDENTS; AND TO REQUIRE THE PARENT OF A STUDENT WHO USES, POSSESSES, OR SMOKES TOBACCO, TOBACCO PRODUCTS, OR E-CIGARETTES TO PAY A FINE.

House Bill 1192 prohibits public school students from possessing or using tobacco, tobacco products, or e-cigarettes on school property, including buses. The bill requires the parent of a student found violating this rule to pay a fine. This fine would be directed to the police department of the town where the school is located. However, this parental fine provision does not apply to students who are in the custody of the Division of Children and Family Services or the Division of Youth Services.
