A bill aiming to reduce vaping in schools across the Commonwealth is moving to the full Kentucky Senate. The legislation requires local school boards to develop policies to combat underage use of vaping products. It allows for in-school and out-of-school student suspension. GOP Co-Sponsor Steve Riley, a former high school administrator, said sending violators home is not common practice today.
“You want the students there. You don’t want them..you’re not going to solve anything by sending them home and let them vape all day at the mall. You’re gonna want them to be in-school suspension,” said Riley.
