Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who has not reached the legal drinking age (21
years of age), and who is not accompanied by his or her parent, guardian or spouse
who has attained the legal drinking age, may not enter or be on any premises for
which a license or permit for the retail sale of alcohol beverages has been issued.
Current law also provides for various exceptions to this prohibition. One such
exception is that a person who has not reached the legal drinking age may enter or
be in a bowling center, regularly established athletic field or stadium at which
alcohol beverages are sold or on an outdoor volleyball court immediately adjacent to
premises licensed to sell alcohol beverages.
This bill allows a person who has not reached the legal drinking age to enter and
remain at the Park Ponderosa Ballroom in the village of McFarland in Dane County,
a premises licensed to sell alcohol beverages to be consumed on or off the premises,
if less than 50% of its monthly gross receipts come from the sale of alcohol beverages
and the establishment meets other criteria.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
