Under current law, with limited exceptions, no person may sell alcohol
beverages to a consumer unless the seller possesses a license or permit authorizing
the sale. Under one exception, no license or permit is required for the sale, by officers
or employees of a county or municipality, of fermented malt beverages (beer) in a
public park operated by the county or municipality.
This bill applies this exception to all alcohol beverages (beer, wine, and distilled
spirits), not just to beer.
