BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 108.73(2), Alcoholic Beverage Code, is | ||
amended to read as follows: | ||
(2) "Public entertainment facility" means an arena, | ||
stadium, automobile race track, amphitheater, auditorium, theater, | ||
civic center, convention center, or similar facility that is | ||
primarily designed and used for live artistic, theatrical, | ||
cultural, educational, charitable, musical, sporting, nationally | ||
sanctioned automobile racing, or entertainment events and includes | ||
parking areas that are adjacent to the facility. The term includes | ||
a facility that is part of an approved venue project, including the | ||
venue and related infrastructure, as those terms are defined by | ||
Section 334.001, Local Government Code. The term does not include a | ||
facility the primary purpose of which is the sale of food or | ||
alcoholic beverages, including a bar, nightclub, restaurant, | ||
hotel, bowling alley, pool hall, or dance hall, or a facility that | ||
derives 75 percent or more of the facility's annual gross revenue | ||
from the on-premise sale of alcoholic beverages, except for a | ||
facility that is part of an approved venue project, including the | ||
venue and related infrastructure, as those terms are defined by | ||
Section 334.001, Local Government Code. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
