Bill: Employers can tout they’re smoke-free
Employers would be able to tell prospective workers in advertisements that they have nonsmoking workplaces under a bill headed to the Senate floor.
The legislation clarifies part of the state law that says employers cannot use a worker’s tobacco use in hiring or firing decisions.
Senator Greg Ryberg says employers are allowed to regulate smoking on their property and should be able to tell that to prospective workers.
