Smoking Bans on the Way to Kansas

The city of Derby is going to be seeing a new Clean Indoor Air Ordinance, being put into effect soon. There are a few drinking establishments that are already preparing to adapt to the new laws, they will be building outdoor patios before New Year's Eve comes around.

As of the 1st of September, 2008, it will no longer be legal to smoking in public places, places of employment and within 20 feet of entrances to public places. A few restaurants were given a bit more time to adjust to the law but most establishments are going to see a great change on Monday.

Derby city manager Kathy Sexton said, "The city realizes that contractors have backlogs of work, and these clubs tried in good faith to get their design, state approval, and construction moving along. We are happy to work with these valued Derby businesses to get their patios built by the end of the year."

A little time is all that most businesses need to adjust to such changes and it is only fair to do things the way they've been done in Derby.
