AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- RETAIL LICENSES

HB 5032 allows the town of Jamestown to issue a new Class T liquor license for qualifying theaters. This license permits theaters meeting specific criteria - such as nonprofit cultural organizations or historic for-profit theaters in Jamestown - to serve alcohol during performances and for one hour before/after shows, provided events start after noon. The bill directly affects eligible theaters in Jamestown by expanding their ability to serve alcohol under defined conditions. It does not change statewide liquor laws but enables local licensing authority in Jamestown to grant this specific permit. The license requires compliance with Jamestown’s local ordinances regarding entertainment.
