Smoke Free Texas Placed on Senate Intent for May 19th

Smoke Free Texas (SB 544), a bill designed to protect employees from second-hand smoke, would prohibit smoking in most public places. Second-hand smoke kills 53,000 Americans every year and increases healthcare costs for smokers and non-smokers alike.

The bill has already passed out of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee and is scheduled to be laid out for consideration on the Senate floor on May 19th. Please call your Senator and tell him or her that you support SB 544.
