AB722,1,2
1An Act to amend 125.07 (3) (a) 3. of the statutes;
relating to: underage persons
2and certain billiards centers where alcohol beverages are sold and consumed.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits any person who has not attained the legal drinking age
(21 years of age) from entering or being on any premises licensed to sell alcohol
beverages for consumption on the premises, unless the person is accompanied by his
or her parent, guardian or spouse who has attained the legal drinking age. Current
law provides specific exceptions to this prohibition. One such exception allows
persons who have not attained the legal drinking age to enter or be on bowling
centers, stadiums and regularly established athletic fields, indoor golf simulator
facilities and certain outdoor volleyball courts where alcohol beverages are sold and
consumed.
This bill allows a person who has not attained the legal drinking age to enter
and be in a billiards center where alcohol beverages are sold and consumed if the
billiards center has at least 12 billiards tables that are at least 8 feet long and not
designed for coin operation.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
