Bill > S239

This bill amends Chapter 270, Section 22 of Massachusetts General Laws to allow smoking bars within gaming establishments that hold valid category 1 and category 2 licenses under Chapter 23K, which typically refer to different types of gambling venues like casinos. Specifically, the bill creates a new subsection (22)(c)(9) that permits a smoking bar to operate inside a licensed gaming establishment, provided the smoking bar itself maintains a valid permit. This represents an exception to existing smoking regulations, potentially creating a designated area within a gaming facility where smoking would be legally allowed, which is otherwise prohibited in most indoor public spaces in Massachusetts.
