On January 1, 2004 a new law affecting public buildings went into effect.
The new law prohibits smoking within 20 feet of main entrances, exits and operable windows of any building owned, leased, or occupied by the state, county or city, and buildings of the University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), and California Community Colleges. (Per AB 846, Chapter 342, Statutes of 2003, signed by Governor Davis amending Government Code, Sections 7596-7598).
This new law does not impede enforcement of current no smoking laws that go beyond 20 feet of a doorway or operable window. In addition, this new law does not prevent government entities from adopting and enforcing future no smoking laws that go beyond 20 feet.
