Legal Compliance Summary
AI-generated assessment. Verify citations independently before relying on this analysis.
- Tobacco and E-Cigarette Ban: State law (TEC §38.006, updated by S.B. 97 in 2015) requires school districts to prohibit tobacco products and e-cigarettes on school property. This policy reflects that existing legal requirement.
- Electronic Vaporizing Devices Added: The updated policy adds 'electronic vaporizing devices' as a separately named prohibited item, beyond the two categories the state law specifically mentions. This addition was a local drafting choice by the district, not a state requirement.
- Grammatical Restructuring: The word 'and' that previously connected 'tobacco products' and 'e-cigarettes' was removed to accommodate the newly added third category. This was a minor drafting adjustment with no change in legal meaning.

Prohibition on tobacco products and e-cigarettes (core statutory mandate) Required by LawStatutory basis: TEC §38.006(b)(1)–(2) as amended by Acts 2015, 84th Leg., R.S., Ch. 181 (S.B. 97), eff. October 1, 2015
Verified via: verbatim statute text
Local additions: None — the policy's prohibition on tobacco products and e-cigarettes directly mirrors the statutory mandate. The grammatical restructuring (removal of standalone 'and') is an incidental drafting adjustment made necessary by the addition of the third term.
Explicit extension of the prohibition to 'electronic vaporizing devices' as a distinct named category Locally DiscretionaryVerified via: web search confirmed — TEC §38.006 text confirmed unchanged as to enumerated device categories; no 89th Leg. amendment to §38.006 or THSC §161.081 adds 'electronic vaporizing devices' as a separate statutory term compelled in school board policy
Local additions: The district chose to enumerate 'electronic vaporizing devices' as a third, standalone prohibited item beyond the two categories the statute names ('e-cigarettes' and 'tobacco products'). TEC §38.006 uses only the term 'e-cigarettes,' defined by reference to THSC §161.081. That definition may or may not encompass every device a layperson would call an 'electronic vaporizing device,' but the statute does not compel districts to use that specific term or to enumerate it separately. This is a locally chosen drafting expansion for policy clarity.
