| ||||
AN ACT concerning liquor.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Liquor Control Act of 1934 is amended by | ||||
changing Section 6-28 as follows:
| ||||
(235 ILCS 5/6-28) (from Ch. 43, par. 144d)
| ||||
Sec. 6-28. Happy hours prohibited. (a) All retail licensees | ||||
shall
maintain a schedule of the prices charged for all drinks | ||||
of alcoholic
liquor to be served and consumed on the licensed | ||||
premises or in any room or
part thereof. Whenever a hotel or | ||||
multi-use establishment which holds a
valid retailer's license | ||||
operates on its premises more than one
establishment at which | ||||
drinks of alcoholic liquor are sold at retail, the
hotel or | ||||
multi-use establishment shall maintain at each such | ||||
establishment
a separate schedule of the prices charged for | ||||
such drinks at that
establishment.
| ||||
(b) No retail licensee or employee or agent of such | ||||
licensee shall:
| ||||
(1) serve 2 or more drinks of alcoholic liquor at one | ||||
time to one person
for consumption by that one person, | ||||
except conducting product sampling
pursuant to Section | ||||
6-31 or selling or delivering wine by the bottle or
carafe;
| ||||
(2) sell, offer to sell or serve to any person an | ||||
unlimited number of
drinks of alcoholic liquor during any | ||||
set period of time for a fixed price,
except at private | ||||
functions not open to the general public;
| ||||
(3) sell, offer to sell or serve any drink of alcoholic | ||||
liquor to any
person on any one date at a reduced price | ||||
other than that charged other
purchasers of drinks on that | ||||
day where such reduced price is a promotion to
encourage | ||||
consumption of alcoholic liquor, except as authorized in
| ||||
paragraph (7) of subsection (c);
| ||||
(4) increase the volume of alcoholic liquor contained | ||
in a drink, or the
size of a drink of alcoholic liquor, | ||
without increasing proportionately
the price regularly | ||
charged for the drink on that day;
| ||
(5) encourage or permit, on the licensed premises, any | ||
game or contest
which involves drinking alcoholic liquor or | ||
the
awarding of drinks of alcoholic liquor as prizes for | ||
such game or contest
on the licensed premises; or
| ||
(6) advertise or promote in any way, whether on or off | ||
the licensed
premises, any of the practices prohibited | ||
under paragraphs (1) through (5).
| ||
(c) Nothing in subsection (b) shall be construed to | ||
prohibit a
licensee from:
| ||
(1) offering free food or entertainment at any time;
| ||
(2) including drinks of alcoholic liquor as part of a | ||
meal package;
| ||
(3) including drinks of alcoholic liquor as part of a | ||
hotel package;
| ||
(4) negotiating drinks of alcoholic liquor as part of a | ||
contract between
a hotel or multi-use establishment and | ||
another group for the holding of any
function, meeting, | ||
convention or trade show;
| ||
(5) providing room service to persons renting rooms at | ||
a hotel;
| ||
(6) selling pitchers (or the equivalent, including but | ||
not limited to
buckets), carafes, or bottles of alcoholic | ||
liquor which are
customarily sold in such manner, or | ||
selling bottles of spirits, and delivered to 2 or more | ||
persons at one time;
or
| ||
(7) increasing prices of drinks of alcoholic liquor in | ||
lieu of, in whole
or in part, a cover charge to offset the | ||
cost of special entertainment not
regularly scheduled.
| ||
(d) A violation of this Act shall be grounds for suspension | ||
or
revocation of the retailer's license as provided by
this | ||
Act.
