OPINION AND ORDER
MOORE, Judge.
Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Council appeals the Opinion and Order of Jefferson Circuit Court’s ruling of invalidity of the severability clause adopted in Ordinance 189 (the “Smoke Free Law”) amending Chapter 90 of the Louisville Metro Code of Ordinances. Consequently, the severability clause being ruled invalid, the circuit court struck the Smoke Free Law in its entirety due to an unconstitutional provision exempting Churchill Downs. The circuit court previously ruled this exemption violated the Equal Protection Clause in the Kentucky Constitution.
