AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to create an exemption to the statewide ban on smoking in indoor public places, specifically allowing racetracks and off-track wagering facilities to host "cigar nights" or similar events. These events, where smoking would be permitted, must take place in controlled, specified areas and can occur no more than five times per year at each individual racetrack or off-track wagering facility. The bill defines "racetrack" and "off-track wagering facility" by referencing existing state law, P.L.2001, c.199 (C.5:5-129).
