Concerning alcohol service at facilities with sports, amusement, or recreational activities engaged in by patrons.
HB 2128 creates a new "sports entertainment facility license" allowing venues where patrons pay to engage in sports, amusement, or recreational activities (like arenas or event spaces) to serve beer, wine, and spirits on-site. The license costs $3,750 annually and requires venues to offer food options like sandwiches or salads, while considering facility layout and seating. It also establishes special endorsements: $525 for catered events (with sponsor rules) and $180 for selling locally bottled wine off-premises (beer/spirits cannot be sold off-site). The bill restricts brand advertising partnerships to prevent product exclusivity and mandates reporting on these arrangements to the legislature.
