This bill proposes to amend current Arizona liquor laws by allowing golf courses that are at least one thousand yards in size and hold an on-sale retail license to permit patrons to bring and consume spirituous liquor purchased from outside the golf course. This new provision would be added as section 4-230 to title 4, chapter 2, article 2 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The bill also includes a legislative findings clause that highlights the current restrictions faced by golf courses and the intent to alleviate these restrictions to enhance patron experience.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing language in section 4-244 by removing the prohibition against retailers allowing customers to bring spirituous liquor onto licensed premises, except for specific exceptions. One of these exceptions would now include the new provision for golf courses, thereby aligning the law with the proposed changes. The bill aims to ensure that golf courses can operate without jeopardizing their liquor licenses while providing patrons the option to bring their own beverages. The act may be cited as the "Inflation Reduction Act of 2025."
