This bill amends existing law to permit the consumption of alcoholic beverages in restrooms, which were previously prohibited. Specifically, it removes the term "restrooms" from the list of areas where beverages or liquor cannot be served or consumed, as outlined in RSA 179:27, II. The revised language now allows for the consumption of alcoholic beverages in restrooms, alongside other areas not explicitly approved for service by the liquor commission.
The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, reflecting a significant change in the regulations governing where alcoholic beverages can be consumed. This amendment aims to provide more flexibility for establishments serving alcohol, potentially enhancing customer experience and accommodating various social settings.
