SB 848

This bill allows a municipality or county to sell wine and distilled spirits in its

public parks without an alcohol beverage license.

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. Under one exception, no license or permit is required for the sale, by officers

or employees of a county or municipality, of fermented malt beverages (beer) in a

public park operated by the county or municipality.

The bill applies this exception to wine and distilled spirits, along with beer.
