What’s in it

AI summary Currently, people are allowed to smoke on the gaming floors of racetracks, gambling boats, and other gambling buildings. This bill would remove that exception and ban smoking in those areas. These rules would then apply to the entire building or vessel.1

Read the official explanation

This bill eliminates the exception under the smokefree air Act (Code chapter 142D), allowing smoking on the gaming floors of the premises licensed pursuant to Code chapter 99F (gambling structures, excursion gambling boats, and racetracks). The bill thereby subjects the entirety of these premises to the smoking prohibitions of the Act.
