Random Bill
Summary of a randomly selected bill, powered by AnyModel.Smoking (Private Members’ Clubs) Bill
Current Stage: 2nd reading
Last updated: 15/05/2014
Overview
This bill proposes to amend the 2006 Health Act to allow smoking in a designated, ventilated area within private members' clubs, provided a majority of the club's members vote in favor. This would create an exception to the existing smoking ban.
Description
The bill seeks to modify the Health Act 2006, specifically removing a subparagraph (3)(b) from Section 3, which currently prohibits smoking in most enclosed public spaces. The key change is to allow private members' clubs to permit smoking in a separately ventilated room if a majority of their members vote to do so. The club must provide a dedicated, well-ventilated space for this purpose. The bill also defines the type of club that this applies to, referencing the Licensing Act 2003. It stipulates that the bill will come into effect two months after it's passed.
Government Spending
The bill is unlikely to significantly impact government spending. Implementation costs could be minimal, potentially involving some administrative work related to clarifying the regulations. No specific figures are provided in the bill text.
Groups Affected
Private Members' Clubs: This bill directly affects private members' clubs, giving them the option to allow smoking in a designated area.
Club Members: Members will have the right to vote on whether to permit smoking in their club.
Public Health Officials: The bill could impact their efforts to reduce smoking rates.
Employees of Clubs: Employees may be affected by the change in policy depending on the club's decision regarding smoking in their workspace.
