If a club has employees, does the club become a workplace and therefore may not allow smoking under the private club exception, regardless if employees agree with the club exception?
Response: Under the provisions of the CIAA the fact that a club has employees does not make a difference in whether the club officers may vote to permit smoking. Question: We are a private social club that qualifies as a “private club” under the Clean Indoor Air Act list of definitions. We also hold a PLCB Catering Club Liquor License and alcohol is served on the premises. Does this mean we have to apply for an a exception under a drinking establishment or do we still qualify as a “private club”. Response: You qualify as a private club if you meet the definition as stated above.
