AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- RETAIL LICENSES

Summary

The bill allows caterers licensed by the health and taxation divisions to obtain a $500 annual Class P license that lets them serve alcoholic beverages at events across Rhode Island without additional municipal permits. It also creates a special endorsement for licensed distilleries to sell and serve only their own distilled spirits at private or ticketed gatherings, subject to rules the Department of Business Regulation will adopt. Service limits, ID checks, bartender certification, purchase requirements, and fines are included to promote public safety.
