To revise the exemption of“cigar bars” and tobacco specialty retail stores from the <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2009-HB-4377">2009 law</a> that prohibits a business owner from choosing whether to allow smoking in his or her establishment. Under the bill, these exemptions could not be transferred from an existing cigar bar or specialty store to any other. Also, if one of these establishments moved, it would lose the exemption unless the governing body of the new location approves it.
