Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Defines which veteran groups count

The law defines 'patriotic organization' to include the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and American Veterans. This clarifies who can use the club and event permit rules tied to that term. These changes take effect immediately.

Club licenses: who can buy and limits

The law sets who can buy alcohol under a club license. Buyers include club members and their families; widows or widowers with club privileges; active-duty military given the privilege by a patriotic group; and members of a licensed patriotic group covered by a reciprocity agreement. Clubs face new limits: they cannot solicit public patronage unless the board approves or it is a permitted event. They cannot give alcohol-sale income to any member, director, or officer, and cannot sell or serve alcohol outside the licensed part of the club rooms. These changes take effect immediately.

Patriotic groups can sell more at events

A nonprofit event permit lets groups sell beer and wine at their own events. If the holder is a patriotic group, it may also sell other alcoholic drinks at its events. All profits from these event alcohol sales must go to the nonprofit, not to any individual. These changes take effect immediately.
