Last Day for Potential Smoking Ban

Today is the final session day for the Michigan Legislature.

The conference committee on HB-4163 (the statewide smoking ban) has met twice with no result. They will meet again this morning at 8:45am.

The rumor that we are hearing is that there will be no compromise so the House has to vote on a total ban (which would include a ban on casinos and bingo) or nothing. The House tried and failed earlier this fall with only 50 votes. They will need 56 to pass the measure.

We will keep you posted.
