What’s in it

AI summary People who run businesses or locations where smoking is already banned would no longer be required to post specific "no smoking" signs or symbols. If a business owner chooses to make their entire area smoke-free on their own, they must then post a sign or symbol to let people know that smoking is not allowed.1

Read the official explanation

The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. This bill eliminates specific requirements relating to the posting of a “no smoking” sign or the international “no smoking” symbol by the owner, operator, manager, or other person having custody or control of a location where smoking is prohibited pursuant to Code chapter 142D (smokefree air Act). The bill provides that if an owner, operator, manager, or other person having custody or control of an area otherwise exempt from the smoking prohibitions under Code chapter 142D voluntarily declares the entire area as a nonsmoking place, smoking is then prohibited in an area declared a nonsmoking place if a “no smoking” sign or the international “no smoking” symbol is posted in order to provide adequate notice of the prohibition.
