Revising alcohol law to prohibit certain licensees from offering gambling
HB 668 revises alcohol laws to prohibit certain licensees from offering gambling. The bill specifies that all-beverages licenses and beer and wine licenses issued to military clubs, veterans' organizations, and recognized national fraternal organizations after the bill's effective date will no longer be eligible to offer gambling activities. This means that these particular types of organizations, if granted a new alcohol license in the future, cannot also operate gambling on their premises. The change applies to newly issued licenses of these specific categories.

MINOR
The bill text was slightly modified to remove a period at the end of the effective date provision, and the document was finalized by removing the '- END -' marker. These are purely technical formatting changes with no impact on the bill's legal content or policy.
TECHNICAL
Removed a trailing period from the effective date provision and deleted the document end marker, resulting in minor formatting adjustments without substantive policy changes.
