The bill makes it an offense to hold a lit tobacco product or smoke tobacco inside or on the grounds of a state-owned building that houses a state agency office. It touches anyone who smokes at those buildings, though buildings run by universities and other higher education institutions are left out of the definition of state agency. Starting September 1, 2027, a person caught smoking there faces a misdemeanor fine of up to $50.
