Heitmeier (SB 36) Act No. 211
Prior law provided general smoking prohibitions and exemptions.
New law requires public post secondary education institutions to develop smoke-free policies
for its campuses and defines "smoke-free" to be the prohibition of smoking in prior law.
New law does not prohibit a public post secondary education institution from developing a
tobacco-free policy at its campus. Defines "tobacco-free" to mean the prohibition on the use
of tobacco derived or containing products, including but not limited to cigarettes, cigars,
cigarillos, pipes, hookah-smoked products, and oral tobacco products.
New law does not supersede the general smoking prohibitions in prior law.
Effective on August 1, 2014.
