SB 18-189

Senate Bill 18-189 updates Colorado law to allow organizations hosting special events to sell alcohol by the drink at auctions and other activities. Previously, these organizations could only auction sealed containers of alcohol; now they can open those containers and serve drinks directly to attendees for consumption on-site. This change affects event organizers and participants in Colorado. The bill has been signed into law, meaning it is now official and enforceable.
