SECTION 1. Section 4-108 of the Hopkins City Code is hereby created to add the double-
underlined language as follows:
Sec. 4-108. – Self-serve draught malt liquor dispenser.
An establishment holding an on-sale license that allows for the sale of malt liquor may provide
and make a self-serve draught malt liquor dispenser available to a patron for service of malt
liquor, provided the following requirements are met:
(a) Only malt liquor may be dispensed from the self-serve draught malt liquor dispenser; no
other liquor may be dispensed.
(b) Like all other liquor sold pursuant to the establishment’s on-sale license, all malt liquor
dispensed must be consumed on the licensed premises.
(c) The self-serve draught malt liquor dispenser shall require access controlled by the
licensee as to the method and amount of the malt liquor accessible to the patron.
Controlled access may be by any technology or device so long as the malt liquor cannot
be drawn or obtained by a patron without being first approved for access to the dispenser
by the licensee (or its designated employees) and each approved access restricts the
amount of malt liquor that may be dispensed by the patron as required under this section.
Each access transaction provided by the licensee to the patron shall be deemed as and
constitutes a sale or the service of liquor to the patron as is otherwise regulated in this
chapter.
(d) Each access transaction for a patron to the self-serve draught malt liquor dispenser shall
limit the patron access to no more than 32 fluid ounces of malt liquor. No patron shall
have or be provided at any one time with access to more than the restricted amount stated
herein.
(e) Prior to approving or reapproving any dispenser transaction, the patron's age shall be
verified to ensure the patron is age 21 or older.
(f) No person under the age of 21 shall be provided access to the self-serve draught malt
liquor dispenser.
(g) No person under the age of 21 shall consume or possess a malt liquor beverage dispensed
from the self-serve draught malt liquor dispenser.
(h) All access transaction authorizations shall terminate or be disabled prior to the patron
leaving the licensed premises.
(i) No patron shall transfer any access transaction device or passcode to another person or
remove the access device from the licensed premises.
Any violation of the foregoing requirements is unlawful and shall be deemed a violation of this
chapter and any license issued under this chapter.
