SB 793, the bill to outlaw the sale of flavored tobacco was signed into law by the Governor on August 28th. This bill was supported by the California PTA.
During the 2023 National PTA Virtual Convention, delegates adopted resolutions on Hazing, Protection of and Support for LGBTQ+ Individuals, Safe Storage of Firearms and Seizure Safe Schools. The resolutions are available at PTA.org/Resolutions. PTA leaders and members at all levels are encouraged to use the resolutions to build partnerships, form coalitions, increase awareness, develop programs and advocate with policymakers on these issues.
