STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 10154
This legislation clarifies existing law relating to persons under the age of
21 being allowed on premises licensed for the sale of alcohol beverages. Among
other places, present law permits persons under the age of 21 to be on the
premises of a fairground, sports arena, or baseball park. However, the Bureau of
Alcohol Beverage Control has expressed concerns about whether the present law
permits under-age persons to be on those premises during special events, such as
concerts, trade shows, or various events sponsored by charitable or political
organizations.
This legislation permits persons under the age of 21 to be on those
premises so long as the fairgrounds, sports arena or baseball park is being used for
a lawful purpose. In addition, the legislation adds convention centers and other
multi-purpose arenas to the statutory list of permitted premises, which would
include such places as the Boise Centre on the Grove, the Idaho Center, or the
Nampa Civic Center.
The proposal has the approval of the Bureau of Alcohol Beverage Control.
