Relating to the removal of a student from public school for the possession, use, or delivery of e-cigarettes on or near public school property or at certain school events.
SB 2220 amends Texas education law to require public school districts to include specific prohibitions against e-cigarette possession, use, or delivery in student conduct codes. It directly affects students in Texas public schools by making these actions grounds for removal from class, campus, or school events - specifically on school property or within 300 feet of it, or at school-sponsored activities. The bill adds e-cigarettes (defined under Health and Safety Code) to the list of prohibited items that trigger disciplinary removal under Section 37.006, alongside other serious offenses like assault or drug possession. School districts must update their codes to address this, ensuring consistent enforcement of e-cigarette policies.
