AN ACT relating to cigar bars.

This bill creates a legal definition for "cigar bars" in Kentucky and sets rules for where and how they can operate. It allows cigar bars to open in areas that already permit alcohol sales through quota retail drink licenses, while also giving local governments the option to allow cigar bars without requiring that license. Local governments would also gain authority to set their own rules around permits, smoke controls, smoke-free delivery areas, and customer notices about smoke. Who it may affect: cigar bar owners and operators, local governments, and residents in communities where cigar bars may be established.
