Councilmember Katz Proposes Outdoor Smoking Ban at Bars and Restaurants

If the Montgomery County Council passes newly introduced legislation, it will outlaw smoking at all areas of a restaurant or bar in the County. The new Bill 35-18, which is sponsored by District 3 Councilmember Sydney Katz, and co-sponsored by Councilmembers Craig Rice and Marc Elrich, and Council President Hans Riemer, would make it illegal to smoke even in outdoor areas of bars and restaurants.
