Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits smoking in most enclosed, indoor locations that are
accessible to the public unless there has been a specific area that has been designated
a smoking area. Under this substitute amendment, designated smoking areas may
no longer be permitted in any place of employment with exceptions for private
residences, designated smoking rooms in lodging establishments, and certain
retirement homes. The substitute amendment defines "a place of employment" to be
any indoor area that employees normally frequent during the course of employment
such as a work area, an employee lounge, a restroom, a conference room, a meeting
room, a classroom, or a hallway. Other locations where smoking areas may no longer
be permitted under the substitute amendment, regardless of whether they meet the
definition of "place of employment," include the following:
1. Mass transit vehicles and school buses.
2. Schools and other educational facilities.
3. Residence halls and dormitories of colleges and universities.
4. Inpatient health care facilities, such as community-based residential
facilities and nursing homes.
5. Prisons, jails, and juvenile correction facilities.
6. Mental health institutions and hospitals where the primary purpose is the
treatment of mental illness, alcoholism, or drug abuse.
7. Centers for the developmentally disabled.
8. Restaurants and taverns, as described below.
9. Retail establishments.
10. Public waiting rooms.
11. Governmental buildings.
Current law also provides exceptions from the prohibition against smoking for
bowling centers, halls used for private functions, for rooms in which the main
occupants are smokers, and for areas of facilities that are used to manufacture or
assemble goods, products, or merchandise. This substitute amendment eliminates
these exceptions.
Current law allows smoking in any restaurant that has a seating capacity of 50
individuals or less, or that holds a liquor license, if the sale of alcohol beverages
accounts for more than 50 percent of the restaurant's receipts. This substitute
amendment prohibits smoking in any restaurant regardless of seating capacity or
the number of liquor sale receipts.
Current law allows smoking in any tavern holding a "Class B" intoxicating
liquor license or Class "B" fermented malt beverage license, issued by a municipality
(liquor license). This substitute amendment prohibits smoking in any restaurant or
tavern.
