State Status
No Preemption
Legislative Summary
AB 96 (FAILED)

This bill would also strengthen state law by requiring restaurants, retail stores, malls, schools, and movie theaters to be smokefree. Non-restricted gaming establishments and bars (establishments earning >50% revenue from sale of alcohol) would be exempt from the stronger state law provisions.
