Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, an owner, lessee, or person in charge of a public place may
not permit the consumption of alcohol beverages on the premises of the public place
unless the person has an appropriate retail license or permit. Certain exceptions
exist, including for county buildings and parks, athletic fields and stadiums, school
buildings, churches, state fair parks, and clubs.
This bill allows an owner, lessee, or person in charge of a public place used to
conduct culinary or cooking classes to permit wine to be consumed at the location
where the culinary or cooking class is conducted while the culinary or cooking class
is conducted.
