Plain-language summary

Beta

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, including distilled spirits and wine, in areas where that type of sale is already permitted, and would also make them eligible to offer special "barrel pick" selections to customers. Who it may affect: businesses operating at qualified historic sites that hold or seek an alcohol license, and customers in jurisdictions where packaged spirits and wine sales are already allowed.
