The county’s current ban, set to expire April 1, also limits the hours of currently operating clinics to 7 a.m. through 9 p.m.  The moratorium “simply prohibits fly-by-night, storefront operations from setting up shop for the purpose of selling painkiller prescriptions for cash,” according to a county memo.
