An Act authorizing charity alcohol auctions

Summary

The law lets cities and towns that choose to permit alcohol sales grant temporary on‑premises drinking licenses to nonprofit charities, and also permits experienced auctioneers to obtain permanent licenses to run alcohol auctions. Charitable licenses are limited to ten consecutive days and a small number per year, require donated alcohol, and must use proceeds for charitable purposes. Fees for these licenses cannot exceed the minimum retail alcohol‑sale fee.
