The bill amends existing laws regarding live music and entertainment at breweries, wineries, and distilleries in Alaska. It allows holders of brewery, winery, and distillery retail licenses to host up to four live music events or other entertainment performances per calendar year, which was previously prohibited. The amendments specifically modify sections AS 04.09.320, AS 04.09.330, and AS 04.09.340, where the language restricting live performances is updated to include this new allowance.

Additionally, the bill repeals AS 04.09.700, which may have contained previous regulations related to these establishments. The changes aim to enhance the customer experience at these venues while still maintaining certain restrictions, such as prohibiting live music before 9:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m., as well as limiting the types of activities that can occur on the premises.
