An Act to allow non-profits to purchase alcohol from retail package stores for charitable events
This bill (HD 2004) allows non-profit organizations and charities to purchase limited quantities of alcohol directly from retail package stores for fundraising events. It amends existing liquor laws to create an exception for these groups, requiring them to first obtain approval from their local licensing authority. The approval process ensures local oversight while enabling non-profits to serve alcohol at events like galas or dinners to raise funds. The change specifically applies only to charitable fundraising, not general alcohol sales.
