Bill > HB2411

This bill amends Arizona's alcohol regulations to allow golf courses that are at least 1,000 yards in size and have an on-sale liquor license to permit golf patrons to bring spirituous liquor (alcoholic beverages) purchased from outside the course onto the premises for consumption. The legislative findings indicate that current law prohibits such practices, which can be costly for golfers who want to bring their own drinks. The bill specifically modifies section 4-244 of Arizona Revised Statutes to create an exception to the existing rule that generally prevents retailers from allowing customers to bring outside alcohol onto their premises. The legislators argue that this change will help hardworking people save money and enjoy their day on the golf course, noting that Arizona considers itself the "golf capitol of the world." The bill aims to remove the legal barrier that previously prevented golf courses from allowing patrons to bring their own alcoholic beverages, thus giving golf course owners more flexibility in their alcohol service policies.
