Sales by a municipality or county of wine in a public park
This bill allows a municipality or county to sell wine in its public parks without an alcohol beverage license.
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 wine along with beer.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
1. 125.06 (6) of the statutes is amended to read:
125.06 (6) Public parks. The sale of fermented malt beverages and wine in any public park operated by a county or municipality. Fermented malt beverages and wine shall be sold by officers or employees of the county or municipality under an ordinance, resolution, rule or regulation enacted by the governing body.
Section
2. 125.09 (6) of the statutes is amended to read:
125.09 (6) Municipal stores sales. No municipality may engage in the sale of alcohol beverages, except as authorized under s.
ss. 125.06 (6) and 125.26 (6). This subsection does not apply to municipal stores in operation on November 6, 1969.
