Bill Summary

AN ACT To enact R.S. 32:300.4.1, relative to smoking in motor vehicles; to prohibit the operator or any passenger in a motor vehicle from smoking or vaping marijuana while operating on a public highway or right-of-way; to provide for the definition of "smoke" and "public highway or right-of-way"; to provide penalties for a violation of the prohibition against smoking or vaping in motor vehicles; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits the operator or any passenger in a motor vehicle from smoking or vaping marijuana while the vehicle is being operated on a public highway or right-of-way. It defines "smoke" as inhaling, exhaling, burning, or carrying any activated aerosol or vapor of any lighted substance, and "public highway or right-of-way" as the entire width between and immediately adjacent to the boundary lines of publicly maintained highways or roads when any part thereof is open to the public. Violators would be fined $100, and law enforcement officers can only enforce this provision as a secondary action when the driver is detained for another violation. The violation would be considered a non-moving violation and would not be included on the driver's record.
