DelawareStudents may bring off-campus energy drinks to campus
The signed amendment says schools could not use the energy-drink sales restriction to stop students from bringing or consuming drinks obtained off campus.
What it does
Students could bring and consume energy drinks they obtained off campus, even though the measure addresses energy-drink sales at school.
Argument forStudents who buy an energy drink away from school could keep and consume it on campus without violating this stated restriction.
Argument againstBecause the supplied text does not show the full school sales rule, schools may still face uncertainty about other energy-drink restrictions.
More detail
The school energy-drink rule would not restrict a student from possessing or consuming an energy drink obtained off campus. This applies to a student who brings an energy drink onto school grounds after getting it off campus.
