AN ACT CONCERNING CLUBS OPERATED BY NATIONALLY CHARTERED VETERANS' SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
SUMMARY: The law requires any organization holding a state liquor club permit to require a club member's guests to enter their names and addresses in a guest book, along with the member's signature and introduction date. This act waives the guest book requirements for members of nationally chartered veterans' service organizations who (1) visit a club affiliated with their home club and (2) show a membership, travel card, or similar identification verifying their membership in the organization. By law, club permittees may sell alcoholic liquor for on-premises consumption only to members or their guests.
Permittees who violate these requirements may be subject to (1) license penalties and (2) up to a $1,000 fine, up to one year imprisonment, or both.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2014
