An Act to modify the revenue requirements for smoking bars

This bill lowers the required revenue threshold for smoking bars from 51% to 33% from tobacco product sales. It directly affects smoking bars that must now demonstrate tobacco revenue meets this 33% minimum of total combined revenue (food, beverages, and tobacco). The bill also requires these bars to comply with all Department of Public Health health and safety standards (including ventilation and secondhand smoke protections) and submit quarterly revenue reports to the Department of Revenue. The changes take effect immediately upon passage.
