LD 1354 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act Regarding Liquor Licensing In Outdoor Stadiums And Exclusivity In Licensee Agreements

LD 1354 prohibits liquor licensees from entering exclusive agreements with manufacturers or distributors, preventing suppliers from having exclusive rights to provide goods or services. It changes outdoor stadium alcohol rules to allow bottle service in club suites under strict conditions (limiting containers to six, requiring contracts to block underage access, and restricting service to designated areas), while removing the requirement that all alcohol must be sold only by the glass. The bill also permits stadium affiliates to accept sponsorships from transportation or event companies, provided the stadium itself receives no direct payment and the affiliate does not profit from the stadium.
