This ordinance would amend the Second-hand Smoke Control Code, Chapter 36.30, to provide for the regulation of marijuana smoking in the same way the smoking of tobacco products is regulated within the City and Borough.
The Lands Committee heard this ordinance at its December 29, 2014 meeting, and recommended forwarding an amended version to the full Assembly for approval. At its January 12, 2015 meeting, the Assembly referred the ordinance to the Human Resources Committee for further consideration at its February 2, 2015, meeting.
In addition to the changes made in version (b) of the ordinance (clarifying that medical marijuana is not exempted in the same manner as tobacco cessation products or products prescribed by a licensed physician), version (c) amends the definition of "enclosed public place" to be consistent with the State's statutory definition of "public place" and amends the definition of marijuana to be consistent with the definition in Alaska Statute at 17.38.900. |
