A bill for an act relating to alcoholic beverages, including license authorizations and fee determinations, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

HSB 79 updates Iowa's alcohol licensing rules to clarify what types of drinks can be sold for takeout. It specifically allows mixed drinks or cocktails without alcoholic liquor to be sold in sealed containers for off-premises consumption, provided they are immediately filled and sealed at the licensed location (Section 7). The bill also standardizes moral character and residency requirements for all license applicants (Sections 2, 4, 6, 8, 9) and revises fee structures for businesses outside city limits to align with nearby incorporated cities (Sections 11-13). These changes primarily affect bars, restaurants, and retail establishments holding class "C" or native wine licenses.
