Pleasant Prairie updates liquor code to reflect Wisconsin Act 73; ordinance adopted
Summary
The Village Board unanimously adopted ordinance 2554 to update municipal code chapter 194 (intoxicating liquor and fermented malt beverages) to reflect provisions of Wisconsin Act 73, including a new "No Sale Event Permit" and a state operators permit option.
The Village Board voted to adopt ordinance 2554, amending chapter 194 of the municipal code to align local rules with Wisconsin Act 73.
Staff explained key updates: a clarified definition of "public place," creation of a state-issued "No Sale Event Permit" (allowing renters of event venues to permit beer and wine consumption without sale under specified conditions), and an expansion of operator-permit options so an individual may obtain a state operators permit usable statewide while the local operator permit remains valid within Pleasant Prairie.
Presenter (Jane Snell) summarized that the ordinance preserves local sale provisions in chapter 125 and mainly implements Act 73 changes related to event permits and licensing eligibility. Trustee motioned, a second was recorded, and the ordinance was adopted by voice vote.
The change reflects state law updates and gives event venues and organizers clearer options for no-sale event permits and operator licensing in the village.
