By Representative Young

    Beginning on page 1, line 15, after "dining." strike all material through "license" on page 2, line 2 and insert "A theater that otherwise meets the requirements of this section and that serves alcohol to customers at each screen at the theater may have one screen that has more than one hundred twenty seats at which alcohol is served, so long as the screen has no more than three hundred seats and the projection screen is at least two thousand five hundred square feet in size.  Nothing in this subsection (1) prohibits a theater that, on the effective date of this section, serves alcohol to customers at each screen at the theater except for one screen with three hundred or fewer seats that is at least two thousand five hundred square feet in size, from converting that one screen to a screen at which alcohol is served"

EFFECT:   Modifies the limitation on which spirits, beer, and wine theater licensees are eligible for the new authorization to limit the authorization to theater licensees that serve alcohol to customers at each screen at the theater.  Provides that the one 300-or-fewer seat screen at which alcohol may be served under the new authorization must be at least 2,500 square feet in size, and that licensees that currently have one such screen at which alcohol is not served but that serve alcohol at all other screens, are eligible to convert that one screen to an alcohol-service screen.
