This bill amends Chapter 9, Title 23 of the Idaho Code to introduce a new section, 23-903d, which establishes provisions for liquor licenses specifically for established caterers. An established caterer is defined as a catering business that operates from a publicly accessible location and caters at least fifty events per year. The bill outlines the requirements for obtaining an established caterer liquor license, including registration with the Idaho state police and compliance with local regulations. It also specifies that liquor sales must cease when food services end, and the license is non-transferable and cannot be sold or leased.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 23-904 to include a new fee structure for established caterer liquor licenses, setting the annual fee at $400. This fee is part of a broader licensing framework that includes various fees based on population and type of establishment. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2026.
