The Alabama Legislature has passed a bill to ban smoking or vaping in a vehicle that is carrying passengers 14 or younger.

The Senate on Tuesday passed the bill by Rep. Rolanda Hollis, D-Birmingham, who has sponsored it for six years. Violators of the law would face a fine of up to $100. The bill makes the law a secondary violation, meaning that police could only charge a violator if they have stopped a vehicle for a separate violation, like speeding, and issue a ticket for that.

The prohibition on smoking applies regardless of whether the vehicle windows are rolled down or whether the vehicle is in motion or at rest. The bill goes to Gov. Kay Ivey, who can sign it into law.

Hollis said the goal is to protect children from the effects of second-hand smoke, especially those who suffer from allergies and asthma. Hollis said she got the idea to sponsor the bill after an incident where she had difficulty breathing in her husband’s truck because he smoked in it.

“I jumped up in his truck and he was a smoker and I could not breathe,” Hollis said. “And I jumped out of the truck. And I was thinking, I can get out. I can jump out and say I’m not riding in the truck. But what about our kids? If it was a kid, they could not jump out of the truck the same way I did.”

The Senate passed the bill 30-0 on Tuesday. The House passed it 84-15 on April 4. Hollis said she never heard from anyone in her district opposed to the bill and that she was determined to bring it back every year until it passed.

“I’m excited. The only thing we’re waiting on now is for the governor to sign this bill. And it will be a bill that’s going to save a lot of our children,” Hollis said.
