H 330 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding movie theaters and the sale of beer and wine.

Idaho's H 330 changes rules for movie theaters selling beer and wine. It allows theaters built before January 1, 1950, or located in nationally registered historic buildings to sell alcohol if they held a valid license before January 1, 2006 (or July 1, 2025), and requires them to ban obscene or pornographic content. The bill also updates licensing applications for theaters to explicitly identify if they qualify under these historic provisions. This directly affects older or historic movie theaters seeking to sell beer/wine on-site.
