Shirly, did you leave your address on a voice message?
Hi there
I need to publish an NC-120 Order to Show Cause for a name change. Where do I bring the certified copy of the document? The court clerk said you’d need to see it.
Thanks

Dear Editor,
On September 14, the Marin County Board of Supervisors adopted a smoke-free ordinance that protects 100% of all residents living in multi-unit housing including apartments, townhouses and condominium with zero exemptions.
The County already had a smoke-free multi-unit housing ordinance. However, the older ordinance, passed a few years ago, had exempted smoking and vaping of medical marijuana and 20% of all residents living in multi-unit housing. The exemptions were removed based on new scientific evidence about the harms of nicotine and cannabis smoke and vaping on nonsmokers, including increased risk for Covid, among other respiratory diseases.
This was a public health victory for the residents of all the communities in the unincorporated areas. The ordinance addresses the health justice issue for low income residents who can’t afford single family homes to escape their neighbor’s marijuana and tobacco smoke and vaping aerosols.
Local youth who spoke at the first hearing and reminded the Board that hundreds of cannabis alternatives don’t subject non-users and their children to the air toxicity and fire hazards of flammable, combustible cannabis smokes and vapes. The Board members also received input from residents who share walls and patio air space with neighbors who smoke and vape nicotine and cannabis, making it difficult to breathe.
Marin County, Unincorporated joins nine other jurisdictions in Marin including Corte Madera, Larkspur, San Anselmo, San Rafael, Novato, Mill Valley and Tiburon that have enacted similar ordinances, leaving two more jurisdictions that have yet to protect twenty percent of residents from the public health hazards of secondhand smoke. The only jurisdictions that have not yet updated their ordinances are Fairfax and Sausalito.
The theme of health equity came up as public health advocates pointed out that in Marin’s current high priced housing market, with the lack of affordable housing, relatively few people can afford a single family home. Bob Curry, Director of the County’s Tobacco Related Disease Control Program, said: “We have heard from families with children who had to take classes on zoom while inhaling toxic nicotine or cannabis smoke or vaping aerosols from neighbors. These families are looking forward to inhaling fresh, healthy clean air in their homes.”
