(Source: Multomah County Ordinance 937 adopted December 16, 1999)
Effective July 1, 2000 all places of public and private employment in Multnomah County must be smoke-free. The ordinance prohibits smoking in all enclosed areas that employees frequent in carrying out their work responsibilities, including offices, employee lounges, restrooms, conference rooms, and hallways.
Failing to maintain a smoke-free workplace is considered a violation and an employer maybe fined for each day that it is not incompliance. Employees who smoke in the workplace may also be penalized under the ordinance.
