Ark. Code Ann. § 20-78-217: Smoking prohibited - Legislative intent

(a) Whereas, health authorities have established that smoking is not conducive to good health and that children exposed to smoking face a potential health hazard, therefore, it is the intent of the Seventy-Fifth General Assembly to ban smoking in the physical confines of the day care centers licensed by the Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education.

(b) The division is directed to promulgate sufficient rules to ensure that state licensing requirements for day care center operations contain a stipulation which bans smoking within the physical confines of each day care center.
