HB 2239, as amended, would allow a licensed premises
that has received permission to participate in a common
consumption area (CCA) to sell and serve alcoholic liquor, for
consumption, from a non-contiguous service area within an
approved CCA, as designated and approved by the CCA
permit holder. The licensee with a non-contiguous service
area would be required to prominently display a copy of its
drinking establishment license and the approval of the CCA
permit holder at such non-contiguous service area.

Background
The bill was introduced by the House Committee on
Local Government (House Committee) at the request of
Representative Long.
At the House Committee hearing, representatives of the
City of Lenexa (Lenexa), the Kansas Licensed Beverage
Association (KLBA), and the League of Kansas Municipalities
(LKM) testified in favor of the bill. The representatives of
KLBA and Lenexa stated the bill is a targeted way to address

more accessible service at larger events.
Neutral testimony was provided by a representative of
the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division (ABC) of the
Department of Revenue. The representative suggested cities
and counties check their resolutions or ordinances to ensure
sales by these licensees are authorized in the permitted area.
Additionally, the representative suggested the bill be
amended to require certain approvals and licenses be
displayed on the premises of the non-contiguous service area
at all times and be made available for inspection upon
request.
The House Committee amended the bill to require a
licensee to display a copy of its drinking establishment
license and approval from the CCA permit holder at its non-
contiguous service area.
According to the fiscal note prepared by the Division of
the Budget, enactment of the bill, as introduced, would have
no fiscal effect on the ABC.
