Bill > SB1467

This bill modifies Arizona's liquor license regulations for government entities, specifically focusing on watercraft liquor service. The bill expands the definition of "boat" to include watercraft that can carry between 15 and 100 passengers, have a displacement of up to 50 tons, and meet either Coast Guard certification or local governing body requirements. The legislation allows government entities like state agencies, cities, towns, and universities to obtain liquor licenses for specific premises, including dock areas and boats. The bill adjusts restrictions on liquor service on boats, such as permitting liquor service between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. (previously a more limited timeframe), limiting the amount of alcohol per person, and specifying that liquor can only be served by the licensee or concessionaire. The bill also requires boat pilots to have either a Coast Guard operator's license or complete an approved safety training course. Additionally, the legislation maintains provisions for indemnification and liability protection, particularly for entities like the Arizona exposition and state fair board when entering into concession agreements for alcohol service.
