The bill also specifically prohibits smoking in sports arenas and bus shelters,
regardless of whether they meet the definition of "enclosed place."
Current law does not limit the authority of any county, city, village, or town to
enact smoking ordinances that protect the public's health and comfort. This bill
makes no change in this provision.
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
a person who is smoking to leave and refusing to serve the person if the place is a
restaurant, tavern, or private club. 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.
