§ 15.2-2807. Chapter's application to certain ordinances
Ordinances adopted after January 1, 1990, shall not contain provisions or standards which exceed those established in this chapter. However, any ordinance may provide that employers may regulate smoking in the private work place as they deem appropriate under the following circumstances: (i) if the designation of smoking and no-smoking areas is the subject of a written agreement between the employer and his employees, the provisions of the written agreement shall control such designation and (ii) a total ban on smoking in any work place shall only be enforced by the employer upon an affirmative vote of a majority of the affected employees voting, unless such ban is the subject of a contract of employment between the employer and the employees as a prior condition of employment. No such ordinance shall affect no-smoking policies established by employers prior to the adoption of such ordinance.
(1990, cc. 902, 969, § 15.1-291.8; 1997, c. 587.)
