This bill proposes to amend current Arizona liquor laws to allow 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 on their premises. This change would be a significant update to the existing statute, which currently prohibits retailers from allowing customers to bring their own spirituous liquor onto licensed premises, with limited exceptions for wine and food clubs. The bill introduces a new section (4-230) to clarify this allowance specifically for golf courses.

Additionally, the bill includes a legislative findings clause that highlights the need for this change, citing the prevalence of signage at golf courses indicating the current prohibition and the desire to support patrons in saving money on beverages while enjoying their time on the course. The act would be officially titled the "Inflation Reduction Act of 2025," reflecting its intent to alleviate financial burdens on consumers. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the regulations surrounding alcohol consumption at golf courses in Arizona.
