Alcohol Beverage License Higher Education Campus

Sections 1 through 4 of the bill allow a higher education institution that has a license to serve alcohol beverages for on-premises consumption to apply for designation as a campus liquor complex, thereby allowing the institution to designate multiple facilities on the campus as locations for serving alcohol beverages. An institution of higher education seeking to designate a campus liquor complex is subject to the following requirements:

• The institution must: Designate its principal licensed premises and additional separate, related facilities that are located within the campus liquor complex; clearly identify each related facility by its location within the campus; and clearly identify, by a description and map, each area where alcohol beverages will be consumed.
• The institution must obtain a permit for each related facility where alcohol beverages will be served.
• Each related facility must remain at all times under the ownership or control of the licensee.
• The institution must designate a manager for the campus liquor complex and for each related facility.
• For the purposes of license discipline, each related facility is deemed separately permitted.

Section 5 imposes a state permit fee of $75 and section 6 imposes a local permit fee of $100.

$22,150 is appropriated from the liquor enforcement division and state licensing authority cash fund for use by the liquor and tobacco enforcement division.
