Alcoholic beverages; require holder of on-premises retailer's permit to have blood alcohol content testing device available.

HB 860 requires bars and restaurants with on-premises alcohol permits (under Mississippi's Local Option Alcohol Law) to keep at least one breathalyzer device available for patrons to request a blood alcohol test. The bill also states that these businesses cannot be held liable for inaccurate or false results from such tests. This law takes effect July 1, 2026, directly impacting licensed establishments that serve alcohol on-site. It focuses on providing a tool for patrons to check their BAC levels, not on changing alcohol sales rules or penalties.
