Bill > HB2252

This bill amends the Kansas Indoor Clear Air Act to expand smoking prohibitions and definitions. Specifically, the bill modifies the definition of "smoking" to include the use of electronic cigarettes and the burning of marijuana, and prohibits smoking on the gaming floor of lottery and racetrack gaming facilities. The bill adds new definitions for "electronic cigarette" and "marijuana" to the existing law, and updates the legal terminology around enclosed areas and smoking. The changes remove previous exemptions for gaming floors and clarify what constitutes smoking, expanding the scope of the indoor clear air regulations. The bill also updates various technical definitions related to public spaces, places of employment, and smoking areas, with the goal of creating more comprehensive restrictions on smoking in indoor and public spaces across Kansas. The amendments aim to provide clearer guidelines for smoke-free environments and protect individuals from secondhand smoke in various public and commercial settings.
