Sec. 2 (7) of the new law states that Health authorities, police officers of cities or towns, sheriffs and their deputies shall, within their respective jurisdictions, enforce the provisions of this Act and shall issue citations for violations of this Act[.] The District Health Department is the health authority for Washoe County (per NRS 202.2485). Therefore, the District Health Department is required by law to enforce the smoking ban.
