The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code to create a new Public Consumption Permit and establish an annual state fee of $3,000 for the new permit. This permit would be required for the owner of a commercial establishment that is a sexually-oriented business or a business that charges a fee to be allowed on the premises and that allows a person to consume alcoholic beverages or bring alcoholic beverages on the premises for consumption, is not covered by any other license or permit issued by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), and operates during hours when the public consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited.
On or before November 1, 2013, TABC shall adopt rules to implement the provisions of the bill. Penalties for establishments that are required to hold the permit take effect January 1, 2014. It is assumed that the costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill can be absorbed within existing resources of the agency. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2013.
