The bill amends the existing law concerning microbrewery-restaurant private club permits in Arkansas, specifically focusing on the regulations surrounding advertising by these establishments. It modifies Arkansas Code 3-5-1904(d)(2) to clarify that the previous prohibition on advertising or promoting the consumption of alcoholic beverages does not apply to certain types of advertisements.
The new legal language allows microbrewery-restaurant private clubs to advertise solely their name and to utilize social media, websites, or other electronic means to provide consumers with information about the club, including its location and menu. This change aims to enhance the visibility of microbrewery-restaurant private clubs while still adhering to regulations regarding the promotion of alcoholic beverages.
