The bill amends the Kansas Indoor Clean Air Act to prohibit smoking on the gaming floor of lottery gaming facilities and racetrack gaming facilities. It expands the definition of "smoking" to include the use of electronic cigarettes and the smoking of marijuana. Additionally, it updates various definitions within the law, such as "enclosed area," "public place," and "smoking," to clarify the scope of the regulations. The bill also repeals existing sections of K.S.A. 21-6109 and 21-6110, which previously governed smoking regulations.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that it is unlawful to smoke in enclosed areas or at public meetings, with certain exceptions for designated smoking areas in adult care homes and medical facilities. It mandates that employers provide a smoke-free workplace and maintain a written smoking policy. The provisions of the bill aim to enhance public health by reducing exposure to secondhand smoke in public spaces, particularly in gaming facilities, while still allowing for designated smoking areas under specific conditions.
