Legislative Summary

S884 - (hookah exemption) - An Act to provide that the term 'Cigar Bar' includes 'Hookah Bar' - Bill amended to remove smokefree exemption language - Session Adjourned

This bill amends the new smokefree air law to exempt hookah bars from the smokefree provisions, by stating that they qualify as cigar bars if they meet certain requirements, including that they sell at least 40% of sales from hookah pipe rentals and flavored tobacco. The hookah exemption was withdrawn by the sponsor, and the bill no longer addresses smokefree air in any way.
