A bill for an act relating to the elimination of the exemption of gaming floors from the prohibitions of the smokefree air Act.

HSB 148 eliminates an exception that previously allowed smoking on gaming floors at casinos licensed under Iowa Code Chapter 99F. The bill amends the Smokefree Air Act (Chapter 142D) to apply the statewide smoking ban to all areas of these facilities, including gaming floors. This change directly affects casinos operating under Chapter 99F, requiring them to enforce a complete smoke-free policy throughout their premises. The bill removes a specific exemption, bringing casino gaming areas fully under the existing smoke-free law.
