Legislative Summary
HB0311 - (restrictions on local control) - An Act relating to counties - Died in Committee
This bill allows county commissions to restrict smoking in public places in the county, which they already have the right to do. It also states that local smokefree laws can be enacted if they are at least as restrictive as the county restrictions or if the county commissioners do not regulate smoking in the county. This appears to be a neutral bill on local control, but could easily be amended to be harmful.
