This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 60-7-8h, to the Code of West Virginia, establishing a special permit, designated as Class S4N, for non-profit entities to sell liquor, wine, nonintoxicating beer, and nonintoxicating craft beer in approved private outdoor designated areas. The bill outlines the eligibility criteria for obtaining this permit, which includes having an approved outdoor location, applying to the commissioner with verification of non-profit status, and paying a one-time, nonrefundable annual permit fee of $1,500. The permit allows for multiple events within the annual period, with specific provisions for pro-rating the fee in the first year.

Additionally, the bill defines a "qualified non-profit permit holder" and stipulates that these entities must comply with all relevant state and federal laws. The commissioner is tasked with enforcing any violations related to the permit and existing licenses held by the non-profit entities. Overall, the bill aims to facilitate the operation of non-profit events in designated outdoor areas while ensuring regulatory compliance.
