LOUISVILLE -- A new citywide smoking ban calling for stiffer fines for Louisville businesses could replace the ban tossed out by a judge last week.
Along with the costlier penalties, the proposed ban would require business owners to call police if customers won't stop smoking.
Judge Stephen Ryan threw out the old ban last week because the city had exempted smokers at Churchill Downs. The proposed ban contains no exemptions.
The new ordinance was introduced Thursday at a Louisville Metro Council meeting, according to the Courier-Journal. The council plans to meet early next month to discuss the changes before a final vote is taken.
