Iowa Senate subcommittee rejects casino smoking ban proposal
An Iowa Senate subcommittee rejected a draft proposal on Monday to end casino-floor smoking, according to the report. Senate File 2051 would have removed the exemption allowing casinos to permit indoor smoking under the Iowa Smokefree Air Act. The report says Sen. Tony Bisignano opposed the proposal and said smoking would end soon.
The proposal’s rejection leaves Iowa casino operators facing no immediate change to the smoking exemption.
