This bill amends existing law to permit patrons of on-premises establishments, such as restaurants, to take purchased alcoholic beverages into the restroom. Specifically, it modifies RSA 179:27, II by removing the prohibition against consuming beverages in restrooms, which is currently listed among areas where service is not allowed. The new legal language allows patrons to carry their purchased beverages into the restroom of the establishment.

The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, thereby providing a clear timeline for implementation. This change aims to enhance the customer experience by allowing patrons to enjoy their beverages without the need to leave them unattended while using the restroom.
