The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6564, seeks to amend section 19a-342 of the general statutes to prohibit smoking in non-owner-occupied apartment buildings. This legislative change aims to enhance the health and well-being of residents living in these types of housing by reducing exposure to secondhand smoke.

The bill introduces new legal language that explicitly bans smoking in non-owner-occupied apartment buildings, while no specific deletions from current law are noted in the text provided. The intent behind this legislation is to create a healthier living environment for tenants who may be adversely affected by smoking in shared residential spaces.
