2020 Senate Bill 942 ↩

Senate Roll Call 168: Passed

To allow “on-premises licensees” (restaurants with liquor licenses and bars that serve food) to serve alcohol in a "commons area" within a “social district” designated by a local government “that is shared by and abuts the premises of at least two other on-premises licensees,” and allow local governments to authorize this. The bill would also allow refunds to bars and restaurants for beer and wine that went stale during the coronavirus epidemic lockdown; authorize discounts on liquor licensee purchases of spirits by bars and restaurants from the state through 2021; permit more "tasting room" options for certain distillers and more.
