A bill awaiting the governor’s signature would make open bars at private events, like weddings, legal.
Right now offering a drink package to someone planning a private event is a no-no.
Instead, a host can opt for a cash bar or to pay per bottle consumed.
State Representative Ray Franz, who sponsored the bill in the House, says the current law probably wasn’t strictly enforced. Passing this bill ensures everyone is now operating on the up-and-up.
