Missouri lawmakers advance casino smoking ban bill as Kansas proposals stall
Missouri lawmakers introduced House Bill 1618 to remove the exemption allowing smoking on casino gaming floors, but the measure had received two House readings and had not been assigned to a committee. The report said Kansas Senate Bill 176 and House Bill 2252 had failed to advance past the crossover deadline, leaving both proposals stalled.
The bills’ status affects whether casinos in Missouri and Kansas would face changes to indoor smoking rules.
