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

SF 2051 removes an exception that previously allowed smoking on gaming floors at venues licensed under Iowa law, such as casinos, racetracks, and gambling boats. The bill amends the Smokefree Air Act to apply its smoking ban to the entire premises of these facilities, eliminating the prior exemption for gaming areas. This change directly affects all licensed gaming venues in Iowa by requiring them to enforce a complete smoking ban throughout their entire property, not just in certain sections. The bill does not change other aspects of the Smokefree Air Act or create new enforcement mechanisms.
