House Committee Passes Smoke Free Bill

Today the House Public Policy Committee voted 7-5 to pass HB1131 out of committee. The bill now goes in front of the full House of Representatives for a vote, and then to the Senate if the House passes the measure. HB1131 would require all workplaces in Indiana to be smoke free with the exception of casinos, horse tracks and off-track betting parlors.
