• Legislation that would impose a statewide sales tax on e‐cigarettes and vaping materials with the proceeds to be dedicated to public education and would allow localities to also impose such a tax

• Legislation that would eliminate mandatory reporting of misdemeanors and status offenses by students to law enforcement for school‐based incidents
