Title

Talledega Co., alcoholic beverages, draft or keg beer, sale authorized

Summary

In Talladega County, HB768 lets licensed retailers sell draft or keg beer and malt beverages for on-site and off-site consumption under the Alabama ABC Board.

What This Bill Does

The bill applies only to Talladega County and authorizes ABC Board retail licensees to sell draft or keg beer and malt beverages for both in-person dining and take-home use. It extends the reach of existing beer laws by making draft/keg beer subject to current local resolutions and ordinances about sale, consumption, and possession. It repeals conflicting laws, is cumulative with other laws, and becomes effective immediately after governor approval.

Who It Affects

• Retail licensees of the Alabama ABC Board in Talladega County who may sell draft or keg beer and malt beverages for on-premises and off-premises consumption.
• Residents and visitors of Talladega County who purchase or consume draft/keg beer in licensed establishments or take it off-site.
• Local government entities in Talladega County, since existing beer-related resolutions and ordinances now apply to draft/keg beer as well.

Key Provisions

• Section 1 limits the act to Talladega County.
• Section 2 authorizes the sale of draft/keg beer or malt beverages for on- and off-premises consumption by properly licensed ABC Board retail licensees in the county.
• Section 3 requires all existing resolutions and ordinances about bottled or canned beer to also apply to draft or keg beer or malt beverages.
• Section 4 states that conflicting laws are repealed but the act is cumulative and supplementary to non-conflicting laws.
• Section 5 becomes effective immediately after passage and governor approval.
