The bill presented is an act to amend the Alabama Clean Indoor Air Act, specifically Sections 22-15A-1 and 22-15A-3 of the Code of Alabama 1975. The act proposes to rename the Alabama Clean Indoor Air Act to the Vivian Davis Figures Clean Indoor Air Act, as indicated by the deletion of the word "Alabama" and the insertion of "Vivian Davis Figures." This change honors an individual by naming the act after them.
Additionally, the bill seeks to expand the definition of smoking within the act to include the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems. This is reflected by the insertion of language that specifies the inclusion of such systems in the definition of smoking. The purpose of this amendment is to prohibit the smoking of electronic nicotine delivery systems in public places in the same manner as the smoking of tobacco products is currently prohibited. The act is set to become effective on October 1, 2024, and has passed the Senate with 32 yeas, 0 nays, and 0 abstains.
