SB 1001 - This section allows a Kansas City festival district's promotional association to obtain a license to sell intoxicating liquor and nonintoxicating beer for consumption at the businesses and common areas within the festival district. The promotional association may apply for a festival district special license by submitting a plan to the governing body of the city and getting approval by a majority vote. If approved, the association may apply to the Supervisor of Alcohol and Tobacco Control for such license. Such promotional association may permit customers to leave an establishment within the district after purchasing alcohol and consume the beverage in the district common areas or another establishment, but no person shall be allowed to take a alcoholic beverage outside the festival district boundaries. If minors are allowed to enter the district, the applicant must ensure they are easily distinguishable from persons of legal age. The permit holder is solely responsible for any alcohol violations occurring within the common areas. The promotional association may be assessed a civil fine of not more than $5,000 for a violation. If the association is found to be responsible for violations at three separate events, its license shall be revoked and not reissued. This act is similar to certain provisions of HCS/HB 913 (2007) and SS/SCS/SB 616 (2007). SUSAN HENDERSON MOORE
