Alcoholic beverages; Marissa Murrow Act; event venue license; definitions; license fee; caterer license; effective date.
HB 2369, known as the "Marissa Murrow Act," updates regulations concerning alcoholic beverages, specifically focusing on event venue and caterer licenses. An amendment to the bill expanded the scope of certain provisions, changing references from "beer and wine" to "alcoholic beverages." This means that where the bill originally specified only beer and wine, it now applies to a broader range of alcoholic products for the affected license types. The specific details of new definitions, license fees, or other provisions for these licenses are not provided in this text.
