HB 189 Alaska House · 33rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relating to the sale of alcohol; relating to the posting of warning signs for alcoholic beverages; and providing for an effective date.

This bill updates Alaska laws regarding the sale of alcohol in restaurants, theaters, and seasonal tourism venues. It establishes stricter requirements for restaurant licenses, mandating that these establishments have adequate supervision to prevent underage access to alcohol and that they are primarily used for dining rather than other activities. The legislation also clarifies rules for minors entering restaurants, allowing those aged 16 to 21 to dine without an adult while permitting younger children to dine only if accompanied by an adult and with parental consent. Additionally, the bill adjusts the hours during which theaters may sell or serve alcohol, restricting sales to a specific window before and after events.
