Bristow council delays vote on smoking ordinance to allow legal review
Summary
The council voted to table Ordinance No. 198-121624, which would amend city code on smoking in public places and indoor workplaces, to the Jan. 6, 2025 meeting so the city attorney can review concerns and state law.
City Attorney Beth Anne Childs asked the council to table Ordinance No. 198-121624—an amendment to Article VIII (smoking in public places and indoor workplaces)—to give her more time to review related concerns and state law. The ordinance text would expand definitions, set prohibitions consistent with state law, raise the furnishing age to 21, add sections on distribution and public access to tobacco products, and include enforcement provisions.
After discussion, the council voted to table agenda item #12 to the Jan. 6, 2025 meeting to allow legal review; the tabling motion passed by roll call.
