Purpose

Sauk Co. Code ch. 28 Tattoo Ordinance, ch. 29 Public Health Nuisance Ordinance, and ch. 44 Food Protection Ordinance are each individual ordinances. These ordinances have been consolidated and amended to become ch. 28 Environmental Health Ordinance. It is believed that other members of the environmental health consortium will adopt a similar code. Non-substantive changes have also been made.  Sauk Co. Code ch. 20, Uniform Citation Ordinance, is amended to reflect changes made in ch. 28 and the repeal of chs. 29 and 44. Sauk Co. Code ch. 30 Miscellaneous Provisions is amended to include “electronic smoking” and “electronic smoking device” in the definition of “smoking.” The definition of “smoking” in ch. 30 has been revised to include the carrying or holding of a lighted or activated pipe, cigar, cigarette, electronic smoking device, or any other lighted or activated smoking product or equipment used to burn any tobacco products, weed, plant, or any other combustible substance. Smoking includes emitting or exhaling the fumes or vapor of any pipe, cigar, cigarette, electronic smoking device, or any other lighted smoking equipment used for burning any tobacco product, weed, plant, or any other combustible substance. As the definition of “smoking” includes the term “electronic smoking device,” it is necessary to include the definition of “electronic smoking device” in ch. 30, as well. The definition of “electronic smoking device” has been included to mean an electronic or battery-operated device that delivers vapor for inhalation. The term includes every variation and type of such devices including electronic cigarettes, electronic cigars, electronic cigarillos, electronic pipes, electronic hookahs or any other similar product.

Background

The creation of chapter 28 is an outgrowth of the Environmental Health Consortium and an effort to create standardization across chapters and among the three county members of the consortium. Chapter 20 must be amended as part of this process. Only tangentially related are the amendments to chapter 30 that deal with ensuring that electronic vaping is included within the ambit of prohibited smoking activities. For the sake of simplicity, all these changes were placed on one ordinance.
