What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows an underage person, without a parent or guardian, to be at an

indoor golf and baseball facility licensed to sell beer.

Under current law, with limited exceptions, no person may sell alcohol

beverages to a consumer unless the seller possesses a license or permit authorizing

the sale. A Class "B" license authorizes the retail sale of fermented malt beverages

(beer) for consumption on or off the premises.

Under current law, a person who is under 21 years of age and not accompanied

by his or her parent, guardian, or spouse who is at least 21 years of age

(unaccompanied underage person) may not enter or be on any premises for which a

license or permit for the retail sale of alcohol beverages has been issued (licensed

premises). Current law also provides for various exceptions to this prohibition.

Among the exceptions, an unaccompanied underage person may enter or be on

licensed premises that is a bowling center, movie theater, billiard center meeting

certain requirements, indoor golf simulator facility, or indoor volleyball court of a

certain size.

This bill creates an additional exception allowing an unaccompanied underage

person to enter or be on Class "B" licensed premises that is an indoor golf and baseball

facility.
