Relating to the temporary sale of alcoholic beverages at certain racing facilities.
HB 3529 allows racing facilities with seating capacity over 40,000 to temporarily sell alcohol during motor racing events or similar events held at the facility. It permits mixed beverage permit holders to sell distilled spirits, wine, and malt beverages for up to five consecutive days (six if events are postponed due to natural disasters), with specific restrictions including a limit of two drinks per person, no sales in factory-sealed containers, and sales must stop after 75% of the feature race or one hour before the last event ends. The bill also requires permit holders to purchase alcohol from authorized local distributors and report sales data to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. This affects large racing venues, their licensed vendors, and attendees at these events.
