  1  1    Section 1.  Section 237A.12, Code 1997, is amended by
  1  2 adding the following new subsection:
  1  3    NEW SUBSECTION.  9.  a.  For the purposes of this
  1  4 subsection, "smoking" means the same as defined in section
  1  5 142B.1.
  1  6    b.  Requirements for child care center policy shall not
  1  7 allow smoking during a center's hours of operation in any

  1  9 In addition, smoking shall not be allowed in the center's food
  1 10 preparation or storage areas.
  1 11    c.  Requirements for group day care homes shall not allow
  1 12 smoking in a group day care home while children are present
  1 13 receiving child day care.
  1 14    Sec. 2.  NEW SECTION.  453A.4  ADVERTISING PROHIBITION.
  1 15    Any outdoor advertising, including but not limited to a
  1 16 billboard, poster, or placard, within one thousand feet of a
  1 17 playground, elementary school, or secondary school, shall not
  1 18 display an advertisement for any tobacco, tobacco product, or
  1 19 cigarette.  An owner of an advertising device who violates
  1 20 this section is guilty of a simple misdemeanor.  
  1 21                           EXPLANATION
  1 22    This bill requires the department of human services to
  1 23 restrict the smoking of tobacco products in licensed child day
  1 24 care centers and registered group day care homes.  The bill
  1 25 amends Code section 237A.12 which requires the department to
  1 26 adopt rules setting minimum standards for child day care
  1 27 providers.
  1 28    The bill also prohibits any outdoor advertising from
  1 29 displaying an advertisement for tobacco products when the
  1 30 advertising is located within 1,000 feet of a playground,
  1 31 elementary school, or secondary school.  The bill provides
  1 32 that a person violating this prohibition is guilty of a simple
  1 33 misdemeanor.
