SB 46 Utah Senate · 2025 General Session

Youth Electronic Cigarette, Marijuana, and Other Drug Prevention Program Sunset Extension

SB 46 extends the expiration dates for Utah's Youth Electronic Cigarette, Marijuana, and Other Drug Prevention Program and its associated Prevention Committee. The bill requires the committee to meet at least quarterly, establishes priority rules for distributing funds from the Electronic Cigarette Substance and Nicotine Product Proceeds Restricted Account, and clarifies that funding shortages may lead to reduced stipends for school-based positive behavior specialists. It directly affects the state's prevention program, local health departments, schools, and the Utah Substance Use and Mental Health Advisory Committee. The bill makes no new appropriations but ensures existing program structures continue operating beyond their original sunset dates.
