New ordinance approved in Tulsa for aerosol spray paint

It will now be harder for minors to get their hands on aerosol spray paint.

This comes after the Tulsa City Council approved an ordinance on Wednesday 5-2 to regulate the sale of aerosol spray paint to minors. Individuals under 18 can only possess or purchase aerosol spray paint if they are in the company of a teacher, employer, guardian or parent.

Tulsa World reports the ordinance is the brain child of City Councilor Connie Dodson. She hopes this will help address the city’s huffing and graffiti problems.

Do you believe this new ordinance will help defend against  huffing and graffiti problems?  Let us know in the comments.
