The bill H. 3998 seeks to amend Section 61-6-1600 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the sale of alcoholic liquors by nonprofit organizations. The amendment allows for certain invitees of a nonprofit organization to consume alcoholic liquors sold by the drink on the organization's licensed premises. This change expands the current provisions that only mention members and guests of members, thereby broadening the scope of individuals who can partake in alcoholic beverages during designated hours.

Specifically, the bill stipulates that a nonprofit organization licensed to sell alcoholic liquors may permit its members, their guests, and other invitees to consume these beverages from 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM the following morning. This amendment aims to enhance the social and fundraising activities of nonprofit organizations by allowing a wider range of attendees to enjoy alcoholic beverages during events. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
