Bill > H331

This bill proposes to modify Massachusetts General Law Chapter 270, Section 22 by adding a new provision that would allow smoking bars within certain gaming establishments. Specifically, the bill would permit a "smoking bar" to operate inside a gaming establishment that holds either a category 1 or category 2 license under Chapter 23K, provided that the smoking bar maintains a valid permit. In plain language, this means that some licensed gaming venues (such as casinos) would be authorized to have a designated area where smoking would be allowed, despite general Massachusetts smoking restrictions. This represents an exception to the typical smoking ban in public spaces, and would require the smoking bar to obtain the necessary official permit to legally operate within the gaming establishment.
