Th current law, which took effect July 5, 2004, exempts mem ership organizations such as ve rans' clubs, country clubs and lks clubs, from the smok­ ing b n when it is open to'mem­ bers. 1 Pu lic health officials say they ave received more than 200 aIls and 60 "serious com­ plain s" from clubs or customers looki g for clarifications on the law. Fe er than five of those com­ plain s resulted in a fine, offi­ aials aid. , "T e law was very general whe it was written," said Sally Foge y, associate commission­ er fo the Department of Public Heal h, who presented the draft iegu ations to the Public Health Cou cil on Tuesday. , In addition, she said, the state rece' ed complaints that non­ me bers were smoking in c1\.lb. T e three pages of proposed fegu ations, 'which will be the subj ct of a public hearing in Ma , clarify those generalities, she aid. Under the regulations, smo .ng would be banned in priv te clubs when they are ope to the public; rented by the 'lSS ciation for a fee and occu­ ~ie by a contracted employee; or ccupied by a nonmember wh is not a guest. embership organizations cou d also designate parts of the clu as smoking areas, provided tha the area would not be open to e public and would not be op for "migration" of smoke int public areas. ileen Sullivan, director of pol cy for the Tobacco Control Pr gram at the DPH, said the cent law does not define 3.4-oz.
