HOUSE BILL NO. 111
AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 4 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO CONCERT HALLS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:
Section 1. Amend Section 101, Title 4 of the Delaware Code by making deletions as shown by strike through and insertions as shown by underline as follows:
§ 101. Definitions.
As used in this title, in addition to their usual meaning:
(13) "Concert hall" shall mean an indoor facility used to host live entertainment that is owned, leased, under easement, and/or operated by any person and that has
a
capacity
of
for
at least 600 patrons for any single event. In order for a facility to be licensed as a concert hall, the facility shall host a minimum of 250 live music events in any
calendar year
biennial licensing period.
and shall be open at least 5 days per week.
A facility meeting this definition may license the entire building, including patio, with the concert hall license.
SYNOPSIS
This bill changes the number of live music events required for an entity to be a qualified “concert hall” for purposes of alcohol licensing. Previously a concert hall was required to hold at least 250 live music events per year and be open at least 5 days per week. Pursuant to this change, the 5-day requirement is eliminated and the venue must hold 250 live music events per two-year period.
