The Protecting Workers from Secondhand Smoke Act is going to have action. A representative from Allegheny County Democratic Rep. Dan Frankel’s office told PlayPennsylvania on Friday that the PA House is going to vote on amendments next week.
The bill passed out of the House Committee last November and has been sitting on the House floor since. There has been plenty of controversy over smoking inside casinos over the last several years, with Pennsylvania and New Jersey leading the charge.
New Jersey casino employees, along with its labor union, are filing a lawsuit against the State of New Jersey over the smoke-filled air inside casinos.
