Bill seeks state control of smoking rules drawing opposition
A Senate hearing on a bill to consolidate smoking regulation under state law drew opposition as critics argued it would ease restrictions. The proposal would require writing smoking policies for public venues, with designated non smoking areas for larger restaurants and workplace smoking decided by collective bargaining. Senatorial action included a 40 to 0 vote on a separate Hutchinson Fox Theatre resolution prioritizing restoration and historic status.
