Sales of alcohol beverages at the state fair park
This bill allows a person approved by the State Fair Park Board to sell, without a license or permit, alcohol beverages for consumption at the state fair park. Under current law, unless an exception applies, a person may not sell alcohol beverages to a consumer unless the person holds a license or permit authorizing the sale. The bill specifies that the State Fair Park Board may not grant such approval unless the person meets certain eligibility requirements applicable to retail licensees and that such approval is also required for retail sales by brewers and brewpubs at the state fair park.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section

The state fair park board may not grant to a person approval under this subsection unless the person meets the qualifications under s. 125.04 (5) (a) 1., 3., 4., and 5., (b), and (c).
Section
2. 125.29 (3) (j) of the statutes is amended to read:
125.29 (3) (j) The ownership, maintenance, or operation of places for the sale of fermented malt beverages at the state fair park or on any county fairgrounds located in this state.
