Proposal to Ban Tobacco Products at Schools Advances Kentucky House

0
The Kentucky House of Representatives approves a bill that would force some school districts to address tobacco use on campus. On Tuesday, lawmakers approved House Bill 11, banning the use of tobacco products on school grounds.

School districts will be given up to three years to opt out of that law. Currently, 99 of Kentucky’s school districts don’t ban tobacco products on campus.

The bill now heads to the state Senate for a vote.
