Smoking Ban Reintroduced by House Democrats


Yesterday, Rep. Joan Bauer, (D-Lansing) introduced HB-4341 and it would ban smoking in the workplace. Previously, smoking ban bills HB-4099 and HB-4100 were introduced by Rep. Paul Scott a Republican. His bills would not likely be taken up by the House majority democrats.

However, with a democratic member introducing HB-4341, we feel that the bill will likely see action. At this time, it is our understanding that are no exemptions for bingo halls or casinos in this proposed legislation.

No hearing date has been set at this time, but we will keep you posted.
