Plain-language summary
Beta

This bill would change Kentucky law to let small farm wineries that already hold a retail drink license serve alcoholic beverages by the drink at multiple locations on their property, without needing to purchase an additional bar license. Currently, a separate supplemental bar license may be required for each service location on the premises. The change could reduce licensing costs and paperwork for small farm winery owners. Who it may affect: owners and operators of small farm wineries in Kentucky.
