Under rules promulgated by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), a person may not possess or consume alcohol beverages on a golf course or clubhouse in Peninsula State Park. This bill requires DNR to allow a person with whom it contracts for the operation of a golf course or clubhouse in Peninsula State Park to sell alcohol beverages on the golf course or at the clubhouse and to allow others to possess and consume those alcohol beverages on the golf course or at the clubhouse.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
