Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.R. No. 138 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE DESIGNATION OF ALL AREAS OF THE STATE CAPITOL AS A SMOKE-FREE WORKPLACE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this resolution is to urge the designation of all areas of the State Capitol as a completely smoke-free building with appropriate "No Smoking" signs to be posted and existing ashtrays removed.
