| 5 | (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, from June | ||||||
| 6 | 10, 2021 through July 10, 2021, a retail licensee may offer a | ||||||
| 7 | single drink of alcoholic liquor at no cost to a customer as | ||||||
| 8 | part of a publicly advertised promotion to encourage | ||||||
| 9 | participation in any COVID-19 vaccination program if the | ||||||
| 10 | customer provides proof of COVID-19 vaccination received at | ||||||
| 11 | any time. Drinks may be provided under this Section only from 6 | ||||||
| 12 | p.m. through 10 p.m. | ||||||
| 13 | This Section is subject to any rule or bulletin posted by | ||||||
| 14 | the State Commission. | ||||||
| 15 | (b) A retail licensee's participation in providing a | ||||||
| 16 | single drink of alcoholic liquor is voluntary and a retail | ||||||
| 17 | licensee may refuse to provide a single drink at no charge. The | ||||||
| 18 | retail licensee may determine or restrict which single drink | ||||||
| 19 | of alcoholic liquor it will provide at no cost but under no | ||||||
| 20 | circumstances may a single drink of alcoholic liquor exceed | ||||||
| 21 | 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits, 5 ounces of wine, or 12 ounces | ||||||
| 22 | of beer. | ||||||
| 23 | (c) A local liquor control commissioner or local liquor | ||||||
| 24 | control commission may prohibit retail licensees within its | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | jurisdiction from providing a single drink of alcoholic liquor | ||||||
| 2 | at no charge by promulgating a rule or policy preempting this | ||||||
| 3 | Section. | ||||||
| 4 | (d) After receiving a single drink of alcoholic liquor at | ||||||
| 5 | no charge, no customer shall receive a subsequent drink from | ||||||
| 6 | the retail licensee providing the drink at no charge or from | ||||||
| 7 | another retail licensee on the same day or any subsequent day. | ||||||
| 8 | In addition to abiding by all other alcoholic liquor sales | ||||||
| 9 | laws, before providing a single drink at no charge, the retail | ||||||
| 10 | licensee shall develop procedures to verify the identity of | ||||||
| 11 | the vaccinated customer by comparing the vaccination card to a | ||||||
| 12 | form of valid federal or State identification. The retail | ||||||
| 13 | licensee shall develop procedures to ensure that a customer | ||||||
| 14 | does not obtain more than a single drink at no charge and the | ||||||
| 15 | retail licensee shall be subject to penalties imposed by the | ||||||
| 16 | State Commission if the retail licensee provides more than a | ||||||
| 17 | single drink to a particular customer at no charge. | ||||||
| 18 | (e) The State Commission may publish further guidelines on | ||||||
| 19 | the implementation of this Section not inconsistent with this | ||||||
| 20 | Section and shall post them on the State Commission's website. | ||||||
| 21 | (f) This Section is repealed on July 11, 2021.".
