Bill > HF1262

This bill establishes a new type of temporary liquor license specifically for food trucks, allowing municipalities to issue licenses that permit the on-sale of intoxicating liquor at community festivals, events, or private catered events. A food truck is defined as a business licensed to prepare and sell food from a motorized vehicle or trailer within a municipality. The license requires the food truck to demonstrate liability insurance, specifies conditions for dispensing and consuming alcohol, and allows sales to event attendees or catering contract guests. The license is subject to municipal terms and fees, and must be approved by the public safety commissioner. The bill sets limits on the number of consecutive and annual days the license can be used, and mandates that the food truck notify either the local police chief or county sheriff before the event, depending on its location. These provisions aim to provide a regulated framework for food trucks to serve alcohol at specific events while ensuring public safety and local oversight.
