To amend section 1711.09 of the Revised Code to | 1 |
remove the prohibition that an agricultural | 2 |

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 1711.09 of the Revised Code be | 7 |
amended to read as follows: | 8 |
Sec. 1711.09. Except as otherwise provided in this section, | 9 |
county agricultural societies, independent agricultural societies, | 10 |
and the Ohio expositions commission shall not permit during any | 11 |
fair, or for one week before or three days after any fair, any | 12 |
dealing in spirituous liquors, or at any time allow or tolerate | 13 |
immoral shows, lottery devices, games of chance, or gambling of | 14 |
any kind, including pool selling and paddle wheels, anywhere on | 15 |
the fairground; and shall permit no person at any time to operate | 16 |
any side show, amusement, game, or device, or offer for sale any | 17 |
novelty by auction or solicitation, on the fairground who has not | 18 |
first obtained from the director of agriculture a license under | 19 |
section 1711.11 of the Revised Code. This section does not | 20 |
prohibit the sale of lottery tickets by the state lottery | 21 |
commission pursuant to Chapter 3770. of the Revised Code at the | 22 |
state fairground during the state fair. In addition, a county or | 23 |
independent agricultural society may permit, at any time | 24 |
25 | |
charitable organization to conduct in accordance with Chapter | 26 |
2915. of the Revised Code games of chance or bingo on the | 27 |
fairground of any county. A charitable organization may lease all | 28 |
or part of the fairground from the agricultural society for that | 29 |
purpose. | 30 |
Any sales of intoxicating liquor transacted on the fairground | 31 |
shall be subject to Chapters 4301., 4303., and 4399. of the | 32 |
Revised Code. | 33 |
Any agricultural society that permits the sale of | 34 |
intoxicating liquor on its fairground shall apply any proceeds | 35 |
gained by the society from the permit holder and from activities | 36 |
coincident to the sale of intoxicating liquor first to pay the | 37 |
cost of insurance on all buildings on the fairground, and then for | 38 |
any other purpose authorized by law. | 39 |
Section 2. That existing section 1711.09 of the Revised Code | 40 |
is hereby repealed. | 41 |
