AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the use and sale of
tobacco at state-operated institutions of the state university of New
York
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds and declares
that it shall be the policy of the state university of New York (SUNY)
to ensure that all state-operated campuses embrace a tobacco-free envi-
ronment. Tobacco use is the number one preventable cause of death in the
United States and accounts for more annual deaths than suicide, murder,
HIV/AIDS, alcohol use, illegal drug use and motor vehicle injuries
combined. Using tobacco is a personal choice, a tobacco-free policy does
not take away an individual's right to choose to use tobacco, it does
limit where a person may use tobacco. SUNY respects an individual's
right to choose to use tobacco off campus, in places where it is accept-
able to do so. SUNY is first and foremost an educational institution.
S 2. Section 355 of the education law is amended by adding a new
subdivision 20 to read as follows:
20. THE FOLLOWING ARE PROHIBITED AT STATE-OPERATED INSTITUTIONS OF THE
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK:
A. THE USE OR SALE OF TOBACCO ON ALL GROUNDS AND FACILITIES OWNED,
LEASED OR CONTROLLED BY THE STATE UNIVERSITY OR ITS RELATED ENTITIES,
INCLUDING INDOOR AND OUTDOOR LOCATIONS; AND
