| HB 3295 - DIGEST |
| Provides that, if the owner of a place of employment can document, using documents filed with the state department of revenue, a loss of ten percent or more of the gross revenue for the first quarter of 2006 versus the first quarter of 2005, it may apply to the department of health for a waiver of RCW 70.160.030. If the owner can show a decline of ten percent or more and the other requirements under this act are met, the waiver must be granted. The waiver must be granted for the entire building if minors are prohibited from the entire premises as required by liquor control board rules or for a section of the building such as a smoking room if the entire premises are not completely off limits to minors as required by liquor control board rules. |
Declares that all waivers granted under this act become null and void when all tribal casinos in the state are deemed fully nonsmoking by the department. |
