SB 18-217

Senate Bill 18-217, which has now been signed into law, allows hotels, restaurants, retail liquor stores, and drugstores with a liquor license to apply for an off-site service permit.

The bill affects establishments that serve or sell alcoholic beverages and the people who organize private events needing such services. Since it's signed, the law is now in effect and these businesses can start applying for off-site service permits.
