[HealthyTribes] 2019 Synar Report public comment period

[Weston Tara E]

Grantees,
The Oregon Health Authority Public Health Division is seeking input and public comment on the draft 2019 Annual Synar Report.
The federal Synar Amendment<https://www.samhsa.gov/synar/about> requires states to enact and enforce laws prohibiting the sale and distribution of tobacco products to underage persons. States must enforce youth tobacco access laws in a manner that can reasonably be expected to reduce the extent to which tobacco products are available to underage persons. States must conduct random, unannounced inspections of youth-accessible tobacco outlets to assess tobacco retailer compliance with state law. State retailer violation rates must not surpass 20 percent.
States must submit an annual report detailing their activities. State reports must be made available for public comment prior to submission.
Oregon's draft 2019 Oregon Synar Report<https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/PREVENTIONWELLNESS/TOBACCOPREVENTION/Documents/AnnualSynarReport2019.pdf> [AnnualSynarReport2019.pdf] <https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/PREVENTIONWELLNESS/TOBACCOPREVENTION/Documents/AnnualSynarReport2019.pdf>  is available for review and comment. The public comment period closes Friday, December 7, 2018.
Comments may be emailed to tara.e.weston at state.or.us<mailto:tara.e.weston at state.or.us> or mailed to:
