SB 960 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Adjusting liquor license requirements for certain private events

SB 960 adjusts liquor license rules for private clubs operating as bakeries, specifically allowing them to sell baked goods infused with alcohol (like wedding cakes with alcohol in icing or infused packets). It directly affects private bakeries with at least 50 members that meet strict kitchen equipment requirements, including ovens, refrigeration, and food preparation facilities. The bill permits alcohol infusion in baked goods but prohibits direct sales of liquor, wine, or beer - only the infused baked goods may be sold for on- or off-premises consumption. Key provisions include mandatory member minimums, specific kitchen standards, and restrictions on alcohol processing methods.
