Smoking prohibited
Known as the Dee Johnson Clean Indoor Air Act
The act spans §§ 24–24 (20 sections).
Applied in 3 court decisions — leading case NYC C.L.A.S.H., Inc. v. City of New York (2004)
Most recently applied in Amvets Post 711 v. Rutter (March 2012)
Laws 1985, ch. 85, § 4; 1999, ch. 250, § 1; 2002, ch. 2, § 1; 2007, ch. 20, § 3.
Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
A. It is unlawful for a person to smoke in any indoor workplace or indoor public place or in buses, taxicabs or other means of public transit not specifically exempted pursuant to the Dee Johnson Clean Indoor Air Act.
B. No part of the state capitol or capitol north shall be designated as a smoking-permitted area.
