Summary

Senator Shippy said RS 32996 would create a liquor licensing procedure for caterers with a public address that host at least 50 events per year; the committee voted to send the draft to print.

The Senate State Affairs Committee on Monday moved RS 32996, a bill draft that would establish a new liquor licensing procedure for "established caterers," to print.

Senator Shippy told the committee the draft applies only to caterers that have a publicly accessible address and that cater no fewer than 50 events per year. The description in the committee minutes frames the change as a licensing pathway limited to businesses meeting both the address and event-frequency criteria.

Senator Harris moved to send RS 32996 to print; Senator Anthon seconded the motion and the committee approved it by voice vote. The motion in the minutes was recorded as a procedural step to move the draft into the bill-printing process; the minutes do not show additional debate, amendments or a recorded roll-call tally.

The committee did not vote on final adoption; sending a record to print is an early procedural step that makes the draft available for later consideration and formal introduction.
