H.B. No. 3529 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to allow holders of mixed beverage permits to temporarily sell distilled spirits, wine, and malt beverages at racing facilities with a seating capacity of over 40,000 during motor vehicle racing events and other events held at the facility. The bill specifies that these sales can occur for up to five consecutive days, or six days if events are postponed due to natural causes. It also removes previous restrictions on the alcohol content of beverages sold and the number of times a permit holder can sell at the facility in a calendar year.
Additionally, the bill outlines specific conditions under which permit holders can sell alcoholic beverages, including limitations on the number of drinks sold to a single consumer and the timing of sales relative to racing events. It requires permit holders selling in a different county to purchase beverages from authorized distributors in that county and mandates reporting of sales to the commission. The bill also allows individuals to bring and consume their own alcoholic beverages on the premises. This legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
