| The
Current Law |
The
present Utah Indoor Clean Air Act has been in effect
since January 1995. 
The law is designed to protect Utahns
and visitors to the state from exposure to the harmful
effects of environmental tobacco smoke (commonly called
second hand smoke). In general, "Smoking
is prohibited in all enclosed indoor places of public
access and publicly owned buildings and offices,..."
UC 26-38-3(1).
Besides the statute, an administrative rule, Rule 392-510,
has been promulgated for the Act. The Rule contains
more operationally-oriented requirements in order to
comply with the UICAA.
Business
and government leaders, owners, managers, and supervisors
are required to comply with provisions of both the statute
and the rule.
