The Indiana Senate Democrats will hold an Online Town Hall meeting on Twitter today at 9:30 a.m. ET. The Online Town Hall will cover new Indiana laws.
District 8 State Senator Jim Arnold invites you to join in the session and address all questions to @INSenDems using the hashtag #AskSenDems. You can discuss issues with a new law that requires the Department of Education to work with the Department of Child Services and other organizations to provide the public school system with a curriculum to educate teachers, school personnel and children about sexual abuse and how to report suspected abuse of students. You may also discuss a new law that prevents school corporations from charging a fee to parents or students for transportation to and from school or the state-wide smoking ban.
If you don’t have a Twitter account, you can sign up for free before the event.
Two information sessions have been scheduled to inform you about the new smoke-free law.
A question and answer session is scheduled at the VFW in Winamac on Thursday, June 21 from 2 to 3 p.m. ET and, later that evening, a town hall meeting will be held at 6 p.m. CT at the Bass Lake Community Center. Representatives from the Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Commission of the Indiana State Department of Health, the Starke County and Pulaski County Health Departments, along with Fulton and Marshall Counties, will discuss what the law covers, who to contact with questions, who enforces the law, and who to contact with complaints.
With the new statewide smoking ban taking effect July 1, many people are confused about what the law covers and where smoking is prohibited or allowed. To alleviate this confusion, a countywide town hall meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, June 21 at 6 p.m. at the Bass Lake Community Center.
The meeting will provide important information concerning the new law and how it affects businesses and organizations, as well as information on what the law covers, who to contact with questions and complaints, and who enforces the law.
One of the most frequently asked questions is where smoking is prohibited under the new law. According to a release from the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission, smoking is prohibited in and within eight feet of most public places and places of employment. Smoking is also prohibited in state-owned vehicles and school buses under certain circumstances.
