• Establishes license fees of $10 per day for beer and wine sales and $25 per day for beer, wine, and liquor sales, plus an additional investigation and issuance fee not to exceed $25.

• Limits nonprofit special events retail licenses to 15 days per calendar year per organization and restricts sales hours to 7:00 a.m. through 2:00 a.m. the following day.

• Allows qualifying organizations to serve alcohol without a license at private functions if no beverages are sold by the drink and any admission fee is uniform regardless of whether attendees consume alcohol.
