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

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
