Questions and Answers: Local Government Authority

What do local governments (cities and counties) need to do?
Local governments should review the state law and determine how it will allocate resources for enforcing the law and educating the public and regulated establishments about the new law. Local governments should also evaluate whether more stringent local laws governing smoking in public places are appropriate within their jurisdictions. As discussed below in Questions 12-13, local governments now have some additional authority to act in this area.
