OH HB697

Creates the F-12 liquor permit allowing nonprofit organizations with federal tax-exempt status to sell beer at events that benefit the organization.

Permit holders may conduct no more than four events per month, with each event limited to a three-day duration.

F-12 permit fee is $900 and valid for up to nine months; permits are not transferable or renewable, but expired permit holders may reapply.

Permit holders must purchase beer from A-1, A-1c, or B-1 permit holders and provide advance notice to the division of liquor control, department of public safety, and local law enforcement before conducting sales.

Event premises must be located in areas where beer sales are otherwise permitted by law and must be clearly defined and restricted for enforcement purposes.
