Bingos Survive Smoking Ban for Now

The legislature could not get to the smoking ban legislation before summer recess, as they were primarily concerned with budget issues.

For now, the House and Senate will remain deadlocked with the Senate's smoking ban exempting no one and the House's smoking ban exempting casinos and bingos. Because of the deadlock on two differing versions, there will be no action taken at this time. We will keep you informed when this issue appears again in the fall session.
