1An Act to amend 125.07 (3) (a) 3.; and
to create 125.32 (3m) (h) of the statutes;
2relating to: the issuance of retail alcohol beverage licenses for premises on
3which another business is conducted and the prohibition against underage
4persons entering or being on any premises operating under a retail alcohol
5beverage license.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits, with certain exceptions including hotels, restaurants,
and bowling centers, the issuance of a Class "B" license or permit for any premises
where another business is conducted. However, this prohibition does not apply if the
other business and the Class "B" premises are connected by a "secondary doorway"
— a safety exit that is not the primary entrance to the Class "B" premises. A Class
"B" license authorizes the retail sale of beer for consumption on or off the premises.
This bill creates an exception to this prohibition for a beauty salon or health spa.
Under current law, a person who is under 21 years of age and not accompanied
by his or her parent, guardian, or spouse who is at least 21 years of age
(unaccompanied underage person) may not enter or be on any premises for which a
license or permit for the retail sale of alcohol beverages has been issued (licensed
premises). Current law also provides for various exceptions to this prohibition.
Among the exceptions, an unaccompanied underage person may enter or be in a
bowling center, a billiard center meeting certain requirements, an indoor golf
simulator facility, an outdoor volleyball court contiguous to a licensed premises, or
an indoor volleyball court of a certain size on a licensed premises. This bill creates
an additional exception allowing an unaccompanied underage person to enter or be
in a beauty salon or health spa on a licensed premises.
