SYNOPSIS
|
This Act would allow, but not require, retailers and importers (a.k.a. wholesalers) to donate alcoholic beverages to not-for-profit organizations if such organization has obtained a "gathering license" from the Commissioner.This Bill would also permit a gathering licensee to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises where the alcohol was sold so long as such sale is by means of a raffle or auction, live or silent, and the total amount of alcohol sold does not exceed 10 gallons in a single day.Many not-for-profit organizations would like to raise donations at their fundraisers by raffling or auctioning alcohol and also allow patrons to take the purchased alcohol off the premises, which is currently not permitted. |
