The Grand Forks City Council will hear the second reading of the proposed smoke-free ordinance on Monday, December 3rd.

This proposed ordinance meshes the 2010 city ordinance for smoke-free workplaces and public places with the provisions of the new state-wide smoke-free law that passed by initiated measure in November.

While the new state law is considered comprehensive, some of the provisions from Grand Fork’s 2010 law are stronger than state law and will remain in effect, pending the second reading.
