Description

Alcoholic beverage control; mixed beverage performing arts facility license. Revises the annual mixed beverage performing arts facility license to allow any person operating any performing arts facility to sell, on the dates of performances and one hour prior to any such performance and one hour after the conclusion of any performance, alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption in areas upon the licensed premises approved by the Board. The bill stipulates that the performing arts facility (i) must be owned by the licensee or be occupied under a bona fide long-term lease or concession agreement, the original term of which was more than five years, and (ii) must have monthly gross receipts from the sale of food cooked, or prepared, and consumed on the premises and nonalcoholic beverages served on the premises of at least $6,000. The bill defines a performing arts facility as an establishment devoted exclusively to the bona fide performance of live music, which establishment is open to the public no more than four days in any calendar week and where at least 90 percent of the ticket sales for any performance at such facility are required to be purchased in advance of the performance. The bill contains technical amendments. Read the Bill »
