                                                                Cal. No. 124

                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                    January 12, 2017
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by M. of A. MOSLEY, GLICK, JAFFEE, DINOWITZ, PAULIN, CAHILL,
          LIFTON -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. CROUCH, FAHY, GALEF  --  read
          once and referred to the Committee on Higher Education -- ordered to a
          third  reading,  amended and ordered reprinted, retaining its place on
          the order of third reading
 
        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:
 
     1    Section  1.    Legislative  intent. The legislature finds and declares
     2  that it shall be the policy of the state university of New  York  (SUNY)
     3  to  ensure that all state-operated campuses embrace a tobacco-free envi-
     4  ronment. Tobacco use is the number one preventable cause of death in the
     5  United States and accounts for more annual deaths than suicide,  murder,
     6  HIV/AIDS,  alcohol  use,  illegal  drug  use  and motor vehicle injuries
     7  combined. Using tobacco is a personal choice, a tobacco-free policy does
     8  not take away an individual's right to choose to use  tobacco,  it  does
     9  limit  where  a  person  may  use tobacco. SUNY respects an individual's
    10  right to choose to use tobacco off campus, in places where it is accept-
    11  able to do so. SUNY is first and foremost an educational institution.
    12    § 2. Section 355 of the education law  is  amended  by  adding  a  new
    13  subdivision 20 to read as follows:
    14    20. The following are prohibited at state-operated institutions of the
    15  state university of New York:
    16    a.  the sale of tobacco on all grounds and facilities owned, leased or
    17  controlled by the state university or its related entities;
    18    b. the use of tobacco by students on all grounds and facilities owned,
    19  leased or controlled by the state university or  its  related  entities,
    20  including indoor and outdoor locations; and
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD02952-02-8
        A. 1656--A                          2
 
     1    c.  the use of tobacco by students in vehicles owned, rented or leased
     2  by the state university or its affiliated entities. For purposes of this
     3  subdivision, the "affiliated  entities"  of  the  state-operated  insti-
     4  tutions  of the state university are the foundations, auxiliary services
     5  corporations, and alumni associations and subsidiaries thereof.
     6    § 3. This act shall take effect September 1, 2019.
