A 1160 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to making restaurant and bar patios one hundred percent smoke free; repealer

This bill repeals an existing exception in public health law that allowed smoking on restaurant and bar patios. It directly requires all restaurant and bar patios to be 100% smoke-free, eliminating the previous allowance for smoking in those outdoor areas. The key provision removes the specific legal exception (section 1399-q(g)), mandating full smoke-free status for these spaces without additional requirements. The change applies immediately upon the law taking effect, affecting all businesses operating such patios in the jurisdiction.
