1(4m) (title) of the statutes; relating to: prohibiting smoking in places of
2employment, restaurants, taverns, and other indoor areas.
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 bill, 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 bill 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
bill, 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 bill 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 bill 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 bill prohibits smoking in any restaurant or tavern.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
