I have <br /> Valerie Scbey attached a 2-page summary in a Q & A format which is posted on the State of <br /> Third District Indiana's Alcohol and Tobacco Commission website, which provides a good <br /> summary of these new provisions. <br /> Fred Ferlic <br /> Fourth District The attached ordinance would require signage to be posted at the entrance of all <br /> David Varner <br /> facilities open to the public. In this way, any person has notice, before entering,Fifth District whether smoking is permitted or whether it is prohibited. <br /> Oliver J. Davis By Passing this ordinance, it would give greater opportunity to collaborate with <br /> Sixth District the County Health Department, and also see how the new state law is working. <br /> Derek D.
