This bill amends Section 123.46 of the Iowa Code to allow for the sale, possession, and consumption of alcoholic liquor, wine, or beer on public school property under specific conditions. It stipulates that a school board may authorize these activities in conjunction with a nonschool-related function deemed appropriate by the board, provided that the sale occurs on premises that hold a five-day retail alcohol license issued to someone other than the school board. The bill also maintains that individuals are prohibited from possessing or consuming alcoholic beverages on public school property during school-related functions.

Additionally, the bill includes several provisions regarding public conduct, such as prohibiting intoxication in public places and establishing that violations of this subsection are classified as simple misdemeanors. The effective date of the bill is immediate upon enactment. Overall, this legislation aims to provide flexibility for school boards while ensuring that the consumption of alcohol on school property is regulated and limited to specific circumstances.
