to take this opportunity to notify you that earlier today I was joined by
Senator Tom George (R-Kalamazoo), Representative Brenda Clack (D-Flint),
Representative Barb Vander Veen (R-Allendale) and the Campaign for Smokefree
Air to introduce legislation to ensure healthy, smokefree air in all workplaces
in Michigan, including restaurants and bars.

which amends the Public Health Code to ensure all restaurants and bars in
Michigan are smokefree.  Representative Vander Veen sponsored this same bill in
the House of Representatives, House Bill 4624.	Senator George has introduced a
companion bill, Senate Bill 395, which prevents smoking in all other Michigan
workplaces.  Finally, Representative Clack is sponsoring House Bill 4625, which
mirror's Senator George's legislation.	Our goal is to make sure that every
resident in Michigan has clean air to breathe when they go to work.
