Tulsa, OK - The Tulsa City Council proposed an ordinance that would ban minors from purchasing or possessing aerosol spray paint, spray fabric dye, and spray metal coating. This ordinance aims to combat two major issues with minors in the city, huffing and graffiti. In Tulsa, the city councilors have found that minors are most often the ones huffing or doing graffiti. The ordinance aims to only curb the misuse of spray paint so minors would be able to purchase them for school projects or other art endeavors only with the company of a parent, guardian, employer, or teacher. The penalty is $200 for minors who purchase or posses spray paint and $200 to any business that sells to them. City councilors support the ordinance but worry how it will effect criminal records of minors, especially since it is an expensive and long process to expunge a record. They also worry if it will burden small businesses.
