HB2411 Summary

• Allows golf courses that are at least 1,000 yards in size and licensed on-sale retailers to permit patrons to bring spirituous liquor purchased elsewhere onto the premises for consumption.

• Adds new section 4-230 to Arizona Revised Statutes to authorize this exception to the existing prohibition on outside alcohol on licensed premises.

• Amends section 4-244(40) to reference the new golf course exception and clarify that it does not apply to unlawful possession of alcohol on other licensed premises.

• Legislative findings note Arizona golf courses currently post signage prohibiting outside alcohol and cite Arizona's status as the "golf capital of the world" as justification for allowing patrons to save money on beverages.
