  10. Policy: What is It? • A policy is a formalized rule, regulation, procedure, ordinance, or law – usually written – that establishes standards for behavior. • “Honesty is the best policy.” ~Ben Franklin • “Policy is an important tool for creating healthier environments that encourage healthier lifestyles.” ~Roger Magnusson, Sydney Law School

  11. Examples of Policies • A mother tells her son that for the upcoming school year, he is not allowed to stay out later than 10:00 p.m. on school nights or he will lose permission to use the family car. • The Parish Council of a local church resolves not to serve alcohol at church-related and community events. People who violate the policy forfeit their event deposit. • A community passes an ordinance mandating that entertainment venues require all staff to attend a responsible beverage server training as a condition of licensing. • President Obama signed a law yesterday permanently banning two major ingredients in bath salts.
