Texas House approves statewide smoking ban as part of fiscal bill

AUSTIN — Restaurants, bars and other indoor public places in every corner of Texas would have to be smoke-free by this fall under a bill the House approved Saturday.
The measure, which includes the statewide smoking prohibition as an amendment, now heads to a conference committee of House members and senators who will work out differences between the two chambers on the legislation. Although the Senate version did not include the smoking ban, supporters of the idea say they have support from a majority of senators.
