AI Summary
This bill prohibits smoking in motor vehicles where children who are required to be secured by a child passenger restraint are present. It imposes a $100 fine for violations, which will be enforced by law enforcement agencies. However, for the first 90 days after the law takes effect, officers will only issue warnings, not citations. The law also specifies that a violation cannot be used as evidence of contributory negligence in a civil action or as a conviction of a moving violation for the purpose of insurance surcharges.
