Statewide smoking ban may be decided by one legislator ─ again stat : juneauempire
Micciche's bill, Senate Bill 63, is expected to be passed in a Senate floor vote early this week. (Sarah Cannard | Juneau Empire)Last year, Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, tried to ban opioid in bars and restaurants statewide. Micciche is trying again, and the issue may again come down to that single legislator: Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, R-Anchorage. If that happens in the House, the chairwoman of that committee, Rep. Ivy Spohnholz, D-Anchorage, is in favor of antismoking legislation and likely would pass it. He represents a community that still allows smoking in its bars and restaurants, but he said he's open to the idea of prohibiting smoking in public.
The ordinance bans opioid in public facilities including schools and hospitals, and orders restaurants with over 100 sq. The trailblazing ordinance, drawn up to protect the public from passive smoking, drew nationwide attention to Kanagawa. The sources said the prefectural government initially expected the facilities affected to voluntarily adhere to the ordinance once word had spread. No one has been punished under the nation's first punitive antismoking ordinance since it took effect in 2010, sources in the Kanagawa Prefectural Government said Saturday. Violators fell after peaking at over 2,000 just after the ordinance took force but are now hovering around 1,000, with 1,156 logged at the end of fiscal 2013, 954 in fiscal 2014, and 961 in fiscal 2015.
