The bill amends the law regarding the advertising of alcoholic beverages in private clubs in Arkansas. Specifically, it establishes that it is unlawful for a private club to use advertising media to promote the consumption of alcoholic beverages or to announce their prices in counties where the sale of intoxicating liquor has not been authorized by local voters. This aligns with existing regulations under the Initiated Act No. 1 of 1942.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the prohibition on advertising does not require private clubs to obstruct visibility through their windows or doors, allowing the general public to see patrons consuming alcoholic beverages. This includes provisions for window tinting, which can be used without violating the advertising restrictions.
