New E-Cigarette Law in Texas Schools (HB 114)
The Texas legislature passed a new law (House Bill 114) that requires school districts to implement mandatory Disciplinary placement for students found in possession of, using, selling, giving, or delivering e-cigarettes on school grounds or at a school-related event, including at Tomball ISD Stadium. The law aims to address the growing concern of e-cigarette usage among students and promote a healthier, safer environment for all members of the school community.
Effective at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year, our school district will be fully enforcing this new law. This means that any student caught violating the new law relating to e-cigarettes will be subject to immediate DAEP placement, as mandated by the state law.
