Amends and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding licenses issued to established caterers.
This legislation amends Chapter 9, Title 23, Idaho Code, to create a new liquor license category for established caterers. The bill adds new section to define" established caterer" and to authorize the issuance of a liquor license for use at events catered by such businesses. The bill sets eligibility requirements, restricts use of the license to catered events, limits where and when liquor may be dispensed and prohibits the use of the license to operate a bar or lounge. The license is nontransferable and does not count toward population-based license limitations. The bill also amends Section 223-904, Idaho Code, to establish an annual license fee for an established caterer liquor license.
