Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1380 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to enact the Industry Public Entertainment Facilities Act authorizing certain alcoholic beverage distillers, manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers to promote and sponsor events and to advertise alcoholic beverage brands and products at a public entertainment facility if the alcoholic beverages are furnished by an independent concessionaire. The bill establishes rules and regulations relating to advertising and promotion in a public entertainment facility that apply to a member of a distiller, manufacturing, distributor, or wholesaler operation, and owner or operator of a public entertainment facility, and an independent concessionaire. The bill provides an exception to the act for a wholesaler whose revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages is predominantly obtained from the sale of distilled spirits and wine, prohibiting it from entering into advertising, sponsorship, or promotional agreements.
