7. Mental health institutions and hospitals where the primary purpose is the
treatment of mental illness, alcoholism, or drug abuse.
8. Centers for the developmentally disabled.
9. Restaurants and taverns, as described below.
10. Retail establishments.

12. 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 beverages license, issued by a
municipality (liquor license). This bill prohibits smoking in any tavern.
Enforcement
This bill requires that persons in charge of places where smoking is prohibited
enforce the prohibitions by taking certain steps to ensure compliance, such as asking
the person to leave or refusing to serve the person if the place is a restaurant or
tavern. This bill imposes forfeitures on persons in charge who fail to take these
measures.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
