Regulates smoking in casinos and casino simulcasting facilities.

This bill amends New Jersey's Smoke-Free Air Act to allow smoking in specific areas of casinos and casino simulcasting facilities approved by the Casino Control Commission. It permits smoking in no more than 25% of the casino floor or simulcasting facility, only in clearly marked areas, with strict requirements: smoking areas must be separated by solid walls/doors, have independent ventilation, and cannot be within 15 feet of table game pits. The bill directly affects licensed casinos (with 150+ slot machines or equivalent) and simulcasting facilities (with 50+ dedicated seats or 10+ table games). These provisions override local smoking bans adopted after January 1, 2022, for these specific venues.
