LIQUOR – Amends and adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding licenses issued to established caterers.

Idaho's S 1231 creates a new license category for "established caterers" - defined as businesses hosting at least 50 events yearly at publicly accessible locations. The bill allows these caterers to serve liquor at events they provide, subject to specific rules: liquor must be served only in approved areas, sales must end when food service stops, and events cannot be promoted as bars. The license costs $400 annually (non-transferable) and does not count toward county liquor license population limits. This directly affects established caterers meeting the 50-event threshold, providing a streamlined option for event-based liquor service under clear operational rules.
