Relating to the use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and tobacco products on the campus of a public institution of higher education.

HB 484 allows Texas public colleges and universities to adopt policies banning cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and tobacco products on campus grounds and in campus buildings. It directly affects all public institutions of higher education by granting them authority to implement such restrictions. The key provision states campuses may prohibit these products in all campus locations, without requiring a statewide ban. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds legislative vote earlier.
