February 24, 2020 Group Watch: Lawmakers Move to Block Smoking in Cars with Kids

The House passed a bill last week to prohibit smoking or vaping in vehicles carrying children ages 14 and younger. Rep. Rolanda Hollis of Birmingham was the bill’s sponsor, and it passed by a vote of 78-19. The bill would impose a fine up to $100 for violations. Violations would be secondary offenses, meaning the police could only charge a driver if they stopped them on probable cause for a separate offense such as speeding or not wearing a seat belt.
