SB 176 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Amending the Kansas indoor clear air act to prohibit smoking on the gaming floor of a lottery gaming facility or racetrack gaming facility and amending the definition of smoking to include the use of an electronic cigarette and smoking marijuana.

SB 176 prohibits smoking (including e-cigarettes and marijuana) on the gaming floor of lottery and racetrack facilities in Kansas. It directly affects gaming facilities, their operators, and patrons who use these specific gaming areas. The bill amends the definition of "smoking" to explicitly include e-cigarettes and marijuana use, and updates the "gaming floor" definition to clarify it covers only areas where Class III gaming occurs (excluding administrative or food service spaces within the facility). This change aligns with Kansas' Indoor Clear Air Act by extending smoke-free rules to these gaming venues.
