This bill would expand what businesses holding a "qualified historic site" alcohol license are allowed to do. It would let them sell packaged alcoholic beverages in areas where that type of sale is already permitted, and make them eligible for a special permit to sell limited barrel picks, which are select quantities of spirits chosen directly from a barrel. Who it may affect: businesses operating at qualified historic sites that hold or seek alcohol licenses, and consumers in areas where packaged spirits and wine sales are allowed.
