TRANSIT bus for Garden Grove hotels (Visit Anaheim).<\/p>\n

An ordinance restricting the sale and distribution of nitrous oxide was approved by the Garden Grove City Council on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

The vote on the second and final vote and adoption was 7-0.<\/p>\n

This new law takes effect 30 days after adoption. It will restrict the use and possession of nitrous oxide to professional uses such as a mild sedative for medical and dental uses, certain foods (such as whipped cream) and some auto racing purposes.<\/p>\n

Aside from those uses, nitrous oxide \u2013 also known as \u201cnox\u201d \u2013 can be a highly addictive intoxicant, often favored by young persons.<\/p>\n

Several other Orange County cities \u2013 including Huntington Beach, Stanton and Westminster have adopted, or are considering adoption, of similar laws.<\/p>\n

Also at Tuesday\u2019s meeting, a presentation was made about the Garden Grove Tourism Improvement District, funded by the the city\u2019s 10 hotels. With the demise of Anaheim\u2019s transit shuttle bus system, Garden Grove\u2019s TID will spend $600,000 for a city-branded bus system (see illustration).<\/p>\n

The Garden Grove Police Department made a report on e-bake safety and enforcement.<\/p>\n
