ESTABLISHMENT OF
NON-SMOKING POLICY IN STATE BUILDINGS |

WHEREAS, it is in the best interest
of Idaho citizens for the state to promote public health by increasing the
awareness of the dangers and consequences of smoking; and
WHEREAS, it is the state's duty, as an employer, to provide a healthy work environment, and to protect public buildings against fire damage and other related property damage; and WHEREAS, a uniform state policy relating to smoking in state-owned and state-leased buildings will promote these goals. NOW, THEREFORE, I, DIRK KEMPTHORNE, Governor of the State of Idaho, have determined that a non-smoking policy in public buildings is a prudent one; therefore, I hereby direct that the following policy shall continue to govern officers and employees of the State of Idaho: All state-owned or state-leased buildings, facilities, or areas occupied by state employees shall be designated as "non-smoking" except for custodial care and full-time residential facilities. The policy governing custodial care and full-time residential facilities may be determined by the directors of such facilities. FURTHER, I hereby encourage all employees in the State of Idaho to promote a non-smoking policy in all buildings occupied by state employees. This Executive Order repeals and replaces Executive Order 2000-01.
