This bill updates Arizona's liquor laws to create a new temporary special event license for charitable auctions and other non-commercial gatherings. It requires local government approval for events held at unlicensed locations and limits the total number of such licenses per year to thirty days per site. The license is restricted to government entities, political campaigns, and recognized nonprofit organizations, with specific rules for hiring contractors and serving alcohol. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that these events can allow purchased alcohol in patrons' possession and permits licensed wholesalers to donate spirits to qualifying nonprofit fundraisers.
