Kansas SmokeFree Clean Indoor Air Website. A smokefree law for Kansas was signed into law by Governor Parkinson on March 12 making Kansas the 35th state to adopt significant protections against secondhand smoke in workplaces, including bars and restaurants. The state legislative action follows the passage of 39 local policies over the past nine years. The new Kansas Clean Air Act takes effect on July 1, 2010. Visit the website for resources and the law. Please see this chart for comparisons of the state clean indoor air law and local smokefree laws.
