Bill Summary
This bill eliminates the exception under the smokefree air Act (Act) (Code chapter 142D), allowing smoking on the gaming floors of the premises licensed pursuant to Code chapter 99F (gambling structures, excursion gambling boats, and racetracks). The bill thereby subjects the entirety of these premises to the smoking prohibitions of the Act.
AI Summary
This bill amends the smokefree air Act, which is a law designed to prohibit smoking in public places. Specifically, it removes an existing exception that allowed smoking on the gaming floors of establishments licensed for gambling, such as casinos and racetracks, which are regulated under a different chapter of the law. By eliminating this exemption, the bill ensures that the entire premises of these gambling establishments will now be subject to the same smoking prohibitions as other public areas, meaning smoking will no longer be permitted on their gaming floors.
