To amend Article 1 of Chapter 7 of Title 3 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions for the sale of distilled spirits by private clubs, so as to authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages by nonprofit organizations without a license during a single function; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

Article 1 of Chapter 7 of Title 3 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions for the sale of distilled spirits by private clubs, is amended by adding a new Code section to read as follows:

"3-7-3.

(1) 'Nonprofit organization' means any nonprofit association organized under the laws of this state and includes any member, employee, volunteer, or other person working on behalf of such nonprofit organization.

(2) 'Single function' means an individually scheduled event that lasts not longer than 24 hours and where the sale of alcohol does not occur more than once a month at the same location.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, a nonprofit organization is authorized to sell distilled spirits or other alcoholic beverages by the drink for consumption at a single function without having to obtain from any governmental agency a license, permit, or other authorization for the sale of distilled spirits or other alcoholic beverages."

SECTION 2.

All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
