LOCAL LAW NO. OF THE YEAR 2013
A Local Law entitled "Local Law No. _ of the Year 2013, Amending Chapter 201 of the
Town of Wappinger Code entitled `Smoking and Tobacco Use Prohibited'."
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows:
Section I: Title.
This Local Law shall be known and cited as Town of Wappinger "Local Law No. _ of
the Year 2013, Amending Chapter 201 of the Town of Wappinger Code entitled `Smoking and
Tobacco Use Prohibited"' and by the adoption thereof, shall amend Section 201-2.A. of the Town
of Wappinger Code to include the prohibition of tobacco smoking and tobacco use in all Town
owned motor vehicles, trucks and motor equipment.
Section H: Legislative Intent.
It has been brought to the attention of the Town Board that Chapter 201 of the
Town of Wappinger Code entitled "Smoking and Tobacco Use Prohibited" currently
does not prohibit tobacco smoking and tobacco use in Town owned motor vehicles,
trucks and motor equipment. The Town Board finds that smoking tobacco and tobacco
use is detrimental to the health and safety of the public as well as Town employees and
has determined that it is in the best interest of the public and Town employees to prohibit
tobacco smoking and the use of tobacco in all Town owned motor vehicles, trucks and
motor equipment.
Section III: Amendment to the Code.
Section 201-2.A. of the Town of Wappinger Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
"§ 201-2. Smokins and Tobacco Use Prohibited.

motor vehicles, trucks, motor equipment and buildings, owned, leased,
used, operated or maintained by the Town of Wappinger or any
department of the Town of Wappinger without exception."
