Burdick sponsored Senate Bill 571 in 2007, which expanded the statewide smoking ban to include bars, taverns, bowling alleys and bingo halls. She protested an exemption for Portland Meadows horse track, refusing to vote the bill out of committee; Senate President Peter Courtney assigned himself to the committee to approve it, sending the bill to the entire Senate.^[1] (The Portland Meadows exemption, however, was not approved by the House.)^[2] Governor Ted Kulongoski signed the bill into law in June 2007;^[3] it will go into effect in January 2009.^{[citation needed]}
