Session: Regular Session 2011
Title: Jasper, alcoholic beverages, draft or keg beer, sales authorized if approved by city council
Summary: HB430 lets the City of Jasper approve the sale of draft or keg beer and malt beverages by licensed ABC Board retailers for on-premises or off-premises (in kegs) use, subject to a majority vote by the Jasper City Council.
What This Bill Does
The bill authorizes Jasper to permit draft or keg beer and malt beverages to be sold by licensed ABC Board retailers within the city. On-premises sales require a majority vote by the City Council, and off-premises keg sales require council approval and must be sold in kegs. All existing rules about bottled or canned beer apply to these draft/keg beverages. The act becomes effective after the governor signs it into law.

Who It Affects
Retail licensees of the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board in Jasper: can sell draft/keg beer and malt beverages for on-premises use with City Council approval; can sell off-premises in kegs if approved and the beverage is sold in kegs.
City of Jasper and its residents: City Council must approve these sales; approval changes local access to draft/keg beer and brings existing beer regulations to apply to these beverages.
