| To amend section 4303.99 and to enact section | 1 |
| 4303.208 of the Revised Code to authorize the F-8 | 2 |
| liquor permit to be issued annually to certain | 3 |
| nonprofit organizations to allow the sale of beer | 4 |
| and intoxicating liquor at specific events that | 5 |
| occur throughout the year on public space that the | 6 |
| organization manages. | 7 |
| Section 1. That section 4303.99 be amended and section | 8 |
| 4303.208 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows: | 9 |
| Sec. 4303.208. (A)(1) The division of liquor control may | 10 |
| issue an F-8 permit to a not-for-profit organization that manages, | 11 |
| for the benefit of the public and by contract with a political | 12 |
| subdivision of this state, publicly owned property to sell beer or | 13 |
| intoxicating liquor by the individual drink at specific events | 14 |
| conducted on the public space and contiguous public space that the | 15 |
| organization manages. | 16 |
| (2) The premises on which an F-8 permit will be used shall be | 17 |
| clearly defined and sufficiently restricted to allow proper | 18 |
| supervision of the permit's use by state and local law enforcement | 19 |
| officers. Sales under an F-8 permit shall be confined to the same | 20 |
| hours permitted to the holder of a D-3 permit. | 21 |
| (3) The fee for an F-8 permit is one thousand dollars and an | 22 |
| F-8 permit is effective for a one-year period. The holder of an | 23 |
| F-8 permit shall make sales only at those specific events about | 24 |
| which the permit holder has notified in advance the division of | 25 |
| liquor control. | 26 |
| (B) The liquor control commission shall adopt under Chapter | 27 |
| 119. of the Revised Code rules necessary to administer this | 28 |
| section. | 29 |
| (C) No F-8 permit holder shall sell beer or intoxicating | 30 |
| liquor beyond the hours of sale allowed by the permit. This | 31 |
| division imposes strict liability on the holder of an F-8 permit | 32 |
| and on any officer, agent, or employee of that permit holder. | 33 |
| Sec. 4303.99. (A) Whoever violates section 4303.28 of the | 34 |
| Revised Code shall be fined not less than one thousand nor more | 35 |
| than twenty-five hundred dollars or imprisoned not less than six | 36 |
| months nor more than one year. | 37 |
| (B) Whoever violates section 4303.36 of the Revised Code | 38 |
| shall be fined not less than twenty-five nor more than one hundred | 39 |
| dollars. | 40 |
| (C) Whoever violates section 4303.37 of the Revised Code | 41 |
| shall be fined not less than twenty-five nor more than fifty | 42 |
| dollars. | 43 |
| (D) Whoever violates division (B) of section 4303.202 or | 44 |
| division (C) of section 4303.208 of the Revised Code is guilty of | 45 |
| a misdemeanor of the fourth degree. | 46 |
| Section 2. That existing section 4303.99 of the Revised Code | 47 |
| is hereby repealed. | 48 |
