To be eligible to receive a Grant Award, a Grant Recipient shall certify that the entity has adopted and enforces a Tobacco-free workplace policy.
(1) A Tobacco-free workplace policy will comply with the certification required by this section if the policy is adopted by the Grant Recipient's board of directors, governing body, or similar and, at a minimum, includes provisions:
(2) Upon request by a Grant Recipient and a showing of good cause, the Chief Executive Officer may authorize a waiver of compliance with this section. In the event that the requested waiver is necessary because Tobacco use is a required component of one or more research studies conducted at the entity, the Grant Recipient must specify the research project and location of the project. If approved, the waiver is effective only for the State fiscal year during which it was approved. CPRIT reserves the right to limit the waiver to a specific location or time period.
