Revised Code that operates as a restaurant for purposes of this
chapter and that is affiliated with the hotel or motel and within

The owner or operator of a hotel, motel, or restaurant who
qualified for and held a D-5a permit on August 4, 1976, may, if
the owner or operator held another permit before holding a D-5a
permit, either retain a D-5a permit or apply for the permit
formerly held, and the division of liquor control shall issue the
permit for which the owner or operator applies and formerly held,
notwithstanding any quota.

or employee of such permit holder.
(E) If an applicant wishes the holder of a D-3, D-4, or D-5 D
permit issued under sections 4303.13 to 4303.181 of the Revised
Code to conduct the sale of beer and intoxicating liquor at the
event, the applicant may request that the F-2 permit be issued
jointly to the association, corporation, or local unit and the
D-permit holder. If a permit is issued jointly, the association,
corporation, or local unit and the D-permit holder shall both be
held responsible for any conduct that violates laws pertaining to
the sale of alcoholic beverages, including sales by the D-permit
holder; otherwise, the association, corporation, or local unit
shall be held responsible. In addition to the permit fee paid by
the association, corporation, or local unit, the D-permit holder
shall pay a fee of ten dollars. A D-permit holder may receive an
unlimited number of joint F-2 permits.
(F)(1) Any association, corporation, or local unit applying
for an F-2 permit shall file with the application a statement of
the organizational purpose of the association, corporation, or
local unit, the location and purpose of the event, and a list of
its officers. The application form shall contain a notice that a
person who knowingly makes a false statement on the application or
statement is guilty of the crime of falsification, a misdemeanor
of the first degree. In ruling on an application, the division
shall consider, among other things, the past activities of the
association, corporation, or local unit and any D-permit holder
while operating under other F-2 permits, the location of the event
for which the current application is made, and any objections of
local residents or law enforcement authorities. If the division
approves the application, it shall send copies of the approved
application to the proper law enforcement authorities prior to the
scheduled event.
(2) Notwithstanding section 1711.09 of the Revised Code, this
section applies to any association or corporation or a recognized
subordinate lodge, chapter, or other local unit of an association
or corporation.
(G) Using the procedures of Chapter 119. of the Revised Code,
the liquor control commission may adopt such rules as are
necessary to administer this section.
(B) No association, corporation, local unit of an association
or corporation, or D-permit holder who holds an F-2 permit shall
sell beer or intoxicating liquor beyond the hours of sale allowed
by the permit. This division imposes strict liability on the
holder of such permit and on any officer, agent, or employee of
such permit holder.
Sec. 4303.208. (A)(1) The division of liquor control may
issue an F-8 permit to a not-for-profit organization that manages,
for the benefit of the public and by contract with a political
subdivision of this state, publicly owned property to sell beer or
intoxicating liquor by the individual drink at specific events
conducted on the publicly owned property and appurtenant streets,
but only if, and then only at times at which, the sale of beer and
intoxicating liquor on the premises is otherwise permitted by law.
Additionally, an F-8 permit may be issued only if the publicly
owned property is located in a county that has a population of
between seven hundred fifty thousand and nine hundred thousand on
the effective date of this section July 10, 2007.
(2) The premises on which an F-8 permit will be used shall be
clearly defined and sufficiently restricted to allow proper
supervision of the permit's use by state and local law enforcement
officers. Sales under an F-8 permit shall be confined to the same
hours permitted to the holder of a D-3 permit.
(3) The fee for an F-8 permit is one thousand seven hundred
dollars. An F-8 permit is effective for a period not to exceed
nine months as specified in the permit. An F-8 permit is not
transferable or renewable. However, the holder of an F-8 permit
may apply for a new F-8 permit at any time. An F-8 permit is not
effective until any F-8 permit currently held expires. The holder
of an F-8 permit shall make sales only at those specific events
about which the permit holder has notified in advance the division
of liquor control, the department of public safety, and the chief,
sheriff, or other principal peace officer of the local law
enforcement agencies having jurisdiction over the premises.
(B)(1) An application for the issuance of an F-8 permit is
subject to the notice and hearing requirements established in
division (A) of section 4303.26 of the Revised Code.
(2) The liquor control commission shall adopt under Chapter
119. of the Revised Code rules necessary to administer this
section.
(C) No F-8 permit holder shall sell beer or intoxicating
liquor beyond the hours of sale allowed by the permit. This
division imposes strict liability on the holder of an F-8 permit
and on any officer, agent, or employee of that permit holder.
(D) Nothing in this section prohibits the division from
issuing an F-2 permit for a specific event not conducted by the
holder of an F-8 permit provided that the holder of the F-8 permit
certifies to the division that it will not exercise its permit
privileges during that specific event.
Sec. 4303.99. (A) Whoever violates section 4303.28 of the
Revised Code shall be fined not less than one thousand nor more
than twenty-five hundred dollars or imprisoned not less than six
months nor more than one year.
(B) Whoever violates section 4303.36 of the Revised Code
shall be fined not less than twenty-five nor more than one hundred
dollars.
(C) Whoever violates section 4303.37 of the Revised Code
shall be fined not less than twenty-five nor more than fifty
dollars.
(D) Whoever violates division (B)(D)(2) of section 4303.202
or division (C) of section 4303.208 of the Revised Code is guilty
of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.
SECTION 2. That existing sections 4303.181, 4303.202,
4303.208, and 4303.99 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.
