SUMMARY

Synopsis of SPAC Amendment

This amendment makes two changes to the bill:

•A technical change in the title of the bill to make it consistent with a prior amendment initiated by the House Business and Industry Committee (HBIC)

•Inserts the words "food service facilities in" state museums in the definition of government facilities.

Significant Issues With SPAC Amendment

The HBIC amendment to the bill had already added "food service facilities at" state museums. With the SPAC amendment the bill reads "food service facilities at food service facilities in state museums."

TECHNICAL ISSUES

To correct this language, on page 3, line 5, after "convention centers," delete "food service facilities at". This technical adjustment will correct the language in the bill.

Synopsis of HBIC Amendment

This amendment further restricts the intent of the original bill by only allowing "food service facilities at "state museums to apply for and be granted a governmental license to dispense and sell alcoholic beverages.

Synopsis of Original Bill

House Bill 85 amends the Liquor Control Act, Section 60-6A-10 NMSA 1978, to include state museums as entities being able to apply for and be granted a governmental license to dispense and sell alcoholic beverages.

Significant Issues

The bill adds "state museum" to the definition of "governmental entity" which presently includes a municipality, a county or a state fair. It also adds "state Museum" to the definition of "governmental facility" which presently means property owned or operated by a governmental entity and includes county fairs, state fairs held for less than ten days per year, convention centers, airports, civic centers, auditoriums, facilities used for athletic competitions, golf courses and other facilities used for cultural or artistic performances. Excluded are tennis facilities.

The bill limits sales to beer and wine only.
