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 act, such as "employee," "employer," "enclosed area," and "public place," to clarify the scope of the law and ensure it encompasses modern smoking devices and practices.
Furthermore, the bill specifies that smoking is unlawful in enclosed areas and public meetings, with certain exceptions for designated smoking areas in adult care homes and medical facilities. It also repeals existing sections of the law that are inconsistent with these changes. The act is set to take effect upon publication in the statute book, reinforcing Kansas's commitment to maintaining smoke-free environments in public spaces.
