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.

This bill allows an unaccompanied person who has not reached the legal drinking age to enter and remain in a banquet or hospitality room on brewery premises licensed to sell alcohol beverages at retail to attend a brewery tour or a banquet, reception, or other special event.

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