The MRA is leading the legislative effort to establish a new class of liquor license for caterers. Those caterers who choose to apply for a license would be allowed to stock an inventory, transport, and serve alcohol at events. They would also be able to return any unused product to their commissary. The present laws and procedures for serving alcohol at a catered event are very convoluted and improperly enforced. We feel that this law would modernize the licensing process and promote public safety. This would be an optional license for caterers and those who do not want the expense or responsibility will still be able to serve alcohol under the current procedures. There are some minor changes to the bill language, and we plan to have it re-filed for next session with renewed emphasis.
