Neb.)-Heineman Signs Smoking Ban Law
By: Chris Fankhauser Posted at: 02/26/2008 10:39 AM
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Governor Dave Heineman has signed into a law a statewide smoking ban that will go into effect in summer 2009.
Heineman said in a statement Tuesday that he weighed the interests of business owners and health concerns of the public, then signed it because public health is a critical concern.
The law will not let cities and counties opt out of the ban and is modeled after the ordinance approved in Lincoln three years ago.
