Relating to: authorized activities under a no-sale event venue permit issued by the Division of Alcohol Beverages in the Department of Revenue.

SB 850 updates Wisconsin's rules for "no-sale event venue permits," which allow event spaces to host gatherings where attendees consume alcohol without it being sold (e.g., private parties). The bill permits event renters to bring their own alcohol for guests to consume without charge, and allows caterers with specific licenses to provide alcohol if the renter first purchases it face-to-face at the caterer’s retail location. It also sets clear limits: no more than 36 events per year, with no more than one event per month and each event lasting up to 36 hours. This directly affects property owners applying for these permits, event renters, and caterers holding Class B licenses.
