With the help of Aurora City Councilman Charlie Richardson, Girl Scout Troop 789 successfully passed an ordinance that bans smoking in a car if anyone under the age of 18 is inside.
The girls drafted the ordinance in 2017. The ordinance’s passage means for those living in Aurora smoking in a car with someone under 18 is a secondary offense and comes with a fine of $150 or community service. It was the first measure of its kind to pass anywhere in Colorado.
