What’s in it

This bill relates to smoking on gaming floors. The bill amends the exception under the smokefree air Act allowing smoking on the gaming floors of the premises licensed pursuant to Code chapter 99F (gambling structures, excursion gambling boats, and racetracks) to provide that smoking is not prohibited only on the portion of the gaming floor where smoking is allowed, if the gaming floor is apportioned to provide an equal quantity of the type of gambling game authorized by the state racing and gaming commission for the licensed premises in both an area where smoking is allowed and an area where smoking is prohibited, and if smoke from the area where smoking is allowed does not infiltrate into the area where smoking is prohibited.
