Bill > SB193

This bill amends existing New Mexico law, specifically the Liquor Control Act, to clarify and expand the definition of "licensed premises" to explicitly include ski areas. Previously, the definition of licensed premises, which refers to the areas where alcoholic beverages can be legally sold, served, or consumed, was updated to include restaurants, hotels, golf courses, and racetracks. This bill inserts language to ensure that ski areas are also recognized as licensed premises, meaning that alcoholic beverage sales, service, delivery, or consumption are permitted on the grounds of ski areas, but only within controlled access areas that have been negotiated as part of the license application or renewal process.
