Plain-language change summary

The proposed amendment to SB 2334 updates the definition of an "alcoholic beverage establishment," specifically clarifying that it refers to places where alcohol is sold and consumed on-site, such as bars and restaurants, and excludes liquor stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and convenience stores. Additionally, the bill indicates that a study will be conducted during the 2025-26 legislative interim to explore the ownership of these establishments by charitable gaming organizations. This change is significant as it aims to understand the relationship between alcohol sales and charitable gaming, which could impact regulations and operations within the industry.
