The bill amends the Alabama Clean Indoor Air Act, renaming it the "Vivian Davis Figures Clean Indoor Air Act." This change is reflected in the deletion of the term "Alabama" and its replacement with "Vivian Davis Figures" in Sections 22-15A-1 and 22-15A-3 of the Code of Alabama 1975. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of "smoking" to include the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems, aligning their regulation with that of traditional tobacco products.
The act aims to enhance public health by prohibiting smoking in various public places and settings, thereby reducing exposure to secondhand smoke. The new provisions will take effect on October 1, 2024, following its passage through the legislative process with unanimous support.
