Establishing a license to sell liquor in motels.

          AN ACT Relating to licenses to sell liquor in motels; and adding a new section to chapter 66.24 RCW.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION. Sec. 1.  A new section is added to chapter 66.24 RCW to read as follows:

          There shall be a retailer's license to be designated as class M.  The class M license may be issued to a motel that holds no other class of license under this title.  No license may be issued to a motel offering rooms to its guests on an hourly basis.  The license authorizes the licensee to sell, at retail, in locked honor bars, spirits in individual bottles not to exceed fifty milliliters, beer in individual cans or bottles not to exceed twelve ounces, and wine in individual bottles not to exceed one hundred eighty-seven milliliters, to registered guests of the motel for consumption in guest rooms.  Each honor bar must also contain snack foods.  No more than one-half of the guest rooms may have honor bars.  The board shall charge a reasonable fee for this license.  All spirits to be sold under the license must be purchased from the board.  The licensee shall require proof of age from the guest renting a guest room and requesting the use of an honor bar.  The guest shall also execute an affidavit verifying that no one under twenty-one years of age shall have access to the spirits, beer, and wine in the honor bar.  "Motel" as used in this section means a facility or place offering three or more self-contained units designated by number, letter, or some other method of identification to travelers and transient guests.  As used in this section, "spirits," "beer," and "wine" have the meanings defined in RCW 66.04.010.
