Attorney General OKs Williamstown Ban on Smoking in Apartments

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Attorney General's Office has approved a town meeting action to implement a smoking ban for apartments with more than four units.
 
Now it is up to the town to figure out how to implement the restriction.
 
In May, town meeting by a 148-56 margin, voted yes on a warrant article proposed by citizen's petition and endorsed by the town's Board of Health.
 
The Board of Health and the town's health inspector, would have the authority to impose fines of up to $300 for repeat offenders.
 
The primary responsibility for enforcing the ban on smoking within 25 feet of an apartment or condominium would fall on the landlord or "condominium/cooperative manager," who would be on the hook for the fines, which start at $100 for a first violation.
 
The AGO had asked the town for an extension to the standard period for the review made for all town meeting actions across the commonwealth.
 
On Monday evening, Town Manager Robert Menicocci told the Select Board that he received word at the close of business that the Attorney General's Office gave its blessing to what was listed as Article 30 on May's annual town meeting warrant.
