  1  7 having table and seating facilities for serving of meals to

  1  9 of payment, meals are served at tables to the public.
  1 10    Sec. 2.  Section 142B.2, subsection 3, unnumbered paragraph
  1 11 1, Code 1999, is amended to read as follows:
  1 12    Where smoking areas are designated, existing physical
  1 13 barriers and existing ventilation systems shall be used to
  1 14 minimize the toxic effect of smoke in adjacent nonsmoking
  1 15 areas.  In the case of public places consisting of a single
  1 16 room, the provisions of this law shall be considered met if
  1 17 one side of the room is reserved and posted as a no-smoking
  1 18 area.  No A public place other than a bar shall not be
  1 19 designated as a smoking area in its entirety.  If a bar has
  1 20 within its premises a nonsmoking area, this designation shall
  1 21 be posted on all entrances normally used by the public.  If an
  1 22 establishment has tables and seating facilities at which, in
  1 23 consideration of payment meals are served to the public, and
  1 24 also has a separate portion of the establishment designated
  1 25 solely for the purchase and consumption of alcoholic beverages
  1 26 as defined in section 123.3, subsection 4, the only portion of
  1 27 the establishment that may be designated as a smoking area is
  1 28 that separate portion of the establishment.  
  1 29                           EXPLANATION
  1 30    This bill provides that an establishment, regardless of
  1 31 size of the establishment, having table and seating facilities
  1 32 at which, in consideration of payment meals are served to the
  1 33 public, is not considered a "bar" for the purposes of Code
  1 34 chapter 142B (smoking prohibitions).  The bill also provides
  1 35 that if an establishment provides table and seating facilities
  2  1 at which meals are served for consideration to the public and
  2  2 also has a separate portion designated solely for the purchase
  2  3 and consumption of alcoholic beverages, the only portion of
  2  4 the establishment that may be designated as a smoking area is
  2  5 that separate portion of the establishment.
