The City Council finds and declares that latex condoms labeled for disease prevention can prevent the passage of the AIDS, hepatitis and herpes viruses but natural or lambskin condoms may not do this. In order to serve the public health, safety and welfare, the declared purpose of this chapter is to educate the public by requiring that warning signs be placed at all locations where condoms are sold to the public.
(Ord. 02-01 § 1)
A. 
Any person who owns, operates, manages, leases or rents a premises or vending machine offering condoms for sale, or dispensing for consideration, to the public, shall cause a sign or notice to be posted on the premises both in English and Spanish, as provided in this section. The sign or notice shall read:
WARNING. CONDOMS MAY NOT BE 100% SAFE AGAINST SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES, BUT LATEX CONDOMS LABELED FOR DISEASE PREVENTION PROVIDE GREATER PROTECTION AGAINST AIDS THAN DO NATURAL (LAMBSKIN) CONDOMS. FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL 1-800-922-2437.
AVISO. LOS PRESERVATIVOS O PROFILACTICOS (CONDONES) QUIZA NO SEAN 100% SEGUROS CONTRA LAS ENFERMEDADES SEXUALES, PERO LOS PRESERVATIVOS, O PROFILACTICOS DE LATEX QUE ANUNCIAN LA PREVENCION DE ENFERMEDADES, PROVEEN MAYOR PROTECCION CONTRA EL SIDA QUE LOS PRESERVATIVOS O PROFILACTICOS NATURALES (HECHOS DE PIEL DE CORDERO-CORDERINA O “LAMBSKIN”).
