The proposed rules would keep tobacco sales limited to permitted businesses, prohibit sales to people under 21, maintain 500-foot school-distance requirements, and allow flavored tobacco products only in smoking bars for on-site consumption. The Board rejected proposed reductions to fines and suspensions, but the regulations are not final; residents will have an opportunity to comment at the public hearing. The Board also approved Desiree Sutton as primary Burial Agent and received an update on the June 30 Community Healthlink closure and service transition.
