Summary
Under existing law, skill-based amusement games may be located in specified areas in establishments that are licensed or permitted to sell alcoholic liquor or malt beverages. This act limits the licensed liquor establishments eligible for skill-based amusement games to those licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption. This act requires skill-based amusement games in licensed liquor establishments to be located in areas where alcoholic beverages are sold. This act authorizes operators with existing skill-based amusement games at locations that do not meet the new definition of "establishment" to continue operating those games under specified conditions until the current permit expires.
Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
82 added · 65 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of Bill SF 46 has clarified the definition of "Establishment" by specifying that it only includes places that sell alcoholic beverages, such as truck stops and smoke shops. Additionally, it now limits the locations where skill-based amusement games can operate specifically to these licensed liquor establishments. This change is significant because it helps regulate where these games can be played, ensuring they are contained within businesses that are already authorized to serve alcohol, which could help minimize potential issues associated with gaming and alcohol consumption.
