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 burning of marijuana. Additionally, the bill updates various definitions related to smoking regulations, such as "public place," "place of employment," and "gaming floor," to ensure clarity and compliance with the new regulations.
Key provisions include the establishment of a smoke-free workplace requirement for employers and the necessity for them to adopt a written smoking policy. The bill also outlines specific exemptions from the smoking ban, including designated smoking areas in adult care homes and medical facilities, as well as tobacco shops and certain private clubs. The existing sections of K.S.A. 21-6109 and 21-6110 are repealed, and the act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
