Alcoholic beverage control; privileges of bed and breakfast licensees. Expands the privileges of bed and breakfast licensees to include the authority to sell and serve alcoholic beverages in dining areas, private guest rooms, and other designated areas to any person, with or without meals, for on-premises consumption only in such rooms and areas, and without regard to the amount of gross receipts from the sale of food prepared and consumed on the premises. Current law only allows bed and breakfast licensees to serve alcoholic beverages in such areas to persons to whom overnight lodging is being provided. The bill limits such licensees to selling no more than (i) two five-ounce glasses of wine, (ii) two 12-ounce glasses of beer, or (iii) four ounces of straight spirits or two glasses of mixed beverages, provided that each glass of mixed beverages contains no more than two ounces of spirits, to any customer. The bill provides that bed and breakfast licensees shall not be prohibited from charging a customer for the service of alcoholic beverages separately from other expenses incurred by such customer at the bed and breakfast establishment. The bill increases from $35 to $150 the annual state alcoholic beverage tax for bed and breakfast licensees.

Alcoholic beverage control; expands privileges of bed and breakfast licensees.
