Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who has not reached the legal drinking age (21 years of age), and who is not accompanied by his or her parent, guardian or spouse who has attained the legal drinking age, may not enter or be on any premises for which a license or permit for the retail sale of alcohol beverages has been issued. Current law also provides for various exceptions to this prohibition. One such exception is that a person who has not reached the legal drinking age may enter or be in a bowling center, regularly established athletic field or stadium at which alcohol beverages are sold or on an outdoor volleyball court immediately adjacent to premises licensed to sell alcohol beverages. This bill provides that a person who has not reached the legal drinking age may enter or be on the premises licensed to sell alcohol beverages at retail if the premises has an indoor volleyball court.

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