AI Summary

This bill requires certain skating rinks that have been granted an alcoholic beverage license to provide a minimum number of free weekly ice time hours to high school and youth hockey programs as a condition of maintaining their liquor license. Specifically, the bill mandates that skating rinks provide at least 20 hours of free weekday ice time per week to local high school hockey programs and at least 10 hours of free weekday ice time per week to local youth hockey programs during their respective seasons. This is intended to ensure that these skating facilities, which have the privilege of holding an alcoholic beverage license, also provide community benefits in the form of affordable access to ice time for young athletes.
