Bill > HB363

This bill amends Alaska law to expand the types of alcoholic beverages that patriotic organizations, such as the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars, can sell or dispense at events and clarifies who can purchase alcohol under a club license. Specifically, it removes a restriction that previously required patriotic organizations to have a reciprocity agreement with another patriotic organization to allow military personnel on active duty to purchase alcohol, and it allows these organizations to sell or dispense all types of alcoholic beverages, not just brewed beverages or wine, at events they organize. The bill also clarifies that profits from alcohol sales at these events must go to the organization itself, not individuals, and it defines "patriotic organization" to include the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and American Veterans organizations. The changes are effective immediately.
