AI Summary
This bill updates the definitions in Montana's Clean Indoor Air Act to expand and clarify key terms related to smoking and electronic smoking devices. Specifically, the bill introduces a new definition for "electronic smoking device" which includes e-cigarettes, dab rigs, and vape pens that deliver nicotine or other substances intended for inhalation. The definition of "smoking" is also broadened to explicitly include inhaling, exhaling, and using electronic smoking devices, in addition to traditional smoking methods like cigarettes and pipes. The bill modifies existing definitions of terms like "bar," "enclosed public place," and "establishment" to provide more clarity and precision. By adding these definitions, the legislation aims to update the state's indoor air quality regulations to account for newer forms of smoking technology and ensure consistent application of clean indoor air protections. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
