RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this amendment is to implement S.B. 66 passed by the Legislature in the 2012 General Session. Reception Center Licenses may hold an event pursuant to a contract with a third party host.

S.B. 66 also adds a requirement that, with the exception of a non-profit organization once a year, a reception center licensee may not hold an event that is open to the public in which an alcoholic product is sold. This proposed amendment reflects that change.
