EXPLANATION
29
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
30
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
31
This
bill
relates
to
alcoholic
beverage
control.
32
Under
current
law,
in
order
to
be
issued
a
retail
alcohol
33
license
to
sell
alcoholic
beverages
for
consumption
on
the
34
licensed
premises
by
the
department

an

S.F.
584
applicant
must
hold
and
maintain
dramshop
liability
insurance
1
covering
the
licensee
and
licensed
premises.
This
requirement
2
does
not
apply
to
retail
alcohol
licensees
that
sell
alcoholic
3
beverages
for
consumption
off
of
the
licensed
premises.
4
The
purpose
of
dramshop
liability
insurance
is
to
provide
5
protection
for
members
of
the
public
who
experience
damages
as
6
a
result
of
licensees
serving
patrons
any
alcoholic
beverage
7
to
a
point
that
reaches
or
exceeds
the
standard
set
forth
in
8
law
for
liability.
The
bill
eliminates
the
dramshop
liability
9
insurance
requirement
and
the
associated
statutory
liability
of
10
a
licensee
who
sold
or
served
an
alcoholic
beverage
directly
to
11
a
visibly
intoxicated
person.
Instead,
such
licensees
must,
as
12
part
of
the
retail
alcohol
license
application,
submit
proof
of
13
a
commercial
general
liability
insurance
policy
submitted
in
a
14
manner
and
in
an
amount
as
determined
by
the
department.
15
Under
current
law,
a
person
holding
a
retail
alcohol
license
16
to
sell
alcoholic
beverages
for
consumption
on
the
licensed
17
premises
may
permit
a
customer
to
carry
an
open
container
18
of
wine
from
the
person’s
licensed
premises
into
another
19
immediately
adjacent
licensed
premises
that
is
covered
by
a
20
license
or
permit
that
authorizes
the
consumption
of
wine,
a
21
temporarily
closed
public
right-of-way,
or
a
private
place.
22
The
bill
allows
a
licensee
to
permit
a
customer
to
carry
any
23
alcoholic
beverage
in
an
open
container
to
an
immediately
24
adjacent
licensed
premises
authorized
to
sell
the
same
type
of
25
alcoholic
beverage
for
consumption
on
the
licensed
premises,
26
a
temporarily
closed
public
right-of-way,
or
a
private
place.
27
The
bill
allows
the
licensee
of
the
immediately
adjacent
28
licensed
premises,
or
owner
of
the
immediately
adjacent
private
29
place,
to
refuse
to
allow
the
customer
to
enter
the
licensed
30
premises
or
private
place
with
an
open
container.
31
Under
current
law,
Code
section
123.3
defines
“licensed
32
premises”
or
“premises”
to
mean
all
rooms,
enclosures,
33
contiguous
areas,
or
places
susceptible
of
precise
description
34
satisfactory
to
the
director
of
revenue

A

consist
of

enclosures,
areas,
or
places
if
they
are
wholly
within
the

or

For
5
purposes
of
an
application
for
and
issuance
of
a
class
“A”
6
native
distilled
spirits
license,
the
bill
modifies
the
term
7
“premises”

8
section
123.3,
any
