Joseph Vitale, one of the measure's sponsors. The bill would close a loophole in New Jersey's 2006 indoor smoking law that exempts casinos.

Much of the data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives report hasn’t been widely available before, and its release is aimed at helping police and policy makers reduce gun violence, said Director Steve Dettelbach.
