AMENDMENT EXPLANATION
1. Extends eligibility for a special event
liquor license to an affiliate of a national, statewide or international parent
nonprofit organization (affiliate), rather than to a nonprofit entity in
certain circumstances.
2. Requires the affiliate to provide:
a)
a letter from
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service showing that the parent organization is a
nonprofit 501(c)(4) organization with a group ruling; and
b)
a copy of a
charter or a letter from the parent nonprofit entity or organization organized
under section 501(c) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (U.S. IRC) that
recognizes the affiliate as a subordinate to the parent organization.
3. Requires the
affiliate and its members to have not violated Alcoholic Beverages statutes,
local requirements for special events or any fire code, rather than requiring
the event to have never been cited for Alcoholic Beverages statute violations.
4. Removes the requirement that the event
be held at a physical location owned by a nonprofit entity or organization
organized under section 501(c) of the U.S. IRC.
