The final rules incorporate the significant and major protections for residential neighborhoods which INC supported..  It should be noted that the final rules eliminated the requirement of a ventilation plan for vaping.  The rules also include a provision for de-licensing which would allow for a liquor licensed establishment to designate a social consumption area in a liquor licensed establishment provided that  alcohol is not being served. The rules take effect July 1, 2017.  It is anticipated that the designated consumption area permits may be issued on or about August 31.
