HOUSE FILE 297

BY  MASCHER

(COMPANION TO SF 113 BY HOGG)

A BILL FOR

An Act relating to the exemption of gaming floors from the prohibitions of the smokefree air Act.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 142D.4, subsection 10, Code 2013, is amended by striking the subsection.
EXPLANATION
   This bill eliminates the exception under the smokefree air Act (Code chapter 142D), allowing smoking on the gaming floors of the premises licensed pursuant to Code chapter 99F (gambling structures, excursion gambling boats, and racetracks). The bill thereby subjects the entirety of these premises to the smoking prohibitions of the Act.
