    |
0009|             A.  Any person holding a dispenser's license in any

    |
0011|     may dispense alcoholic beverages at the public celebration upon
    |
0012|     receiving written approval from the board or other governing
    |
0013|     body in charge of the public celebration and upon the payment
    |
0014|     of fifty dollars ($50.00) to the department for a special
    |
0015|     dispenser's permit.
    |
0016|             B.  As used in this section, "public celebration"

    |
0021|             C.  In addition to the state fee and if previously
    |
0022|     provided for by ordinance, the governing body of the local
    |
0023|     option district in which the public celebration is held may
    |
0024|     charge an additional fee not to exceed twenty-five dollars
    |
0025|     ($25.00) per day for each day the permittee dispenses alcoholic
    |
0001|     beverages.  The permittee shall be subject to all state laws
    |
0002|     and regulations and all local regulations regulating
    |

    |
0008|     the dispensing of alcoholic beverages at a function catered by
    |
0009|     that business, provided the governing body of the local option
    |
0010|     district has given the person seeking the permit written
    |
0011|     approval to dispense alcoholic beverages at the catered
    |

    |
0015|     together with such information as the director may require.  The
    |
0016|     permittee shall be subject to all state laws and regulations and
    |
0017|     all local regulations except that the permittee shall not be
    |
0018|     required to suspend the dispensing of alcoholic beverages at the
    |
0019|     licensed premises solely because of the issuance of the special
    |
0020|     dispenser's permit.
    |
0021|             E.  A special dispenser's permit shall not be issued if

    |
0002|     is within the director's discretion and is subject to any
    |
0003|     reasonable requirements imposed by the director.
    |
0004|             F.  Any person holding a dispenser's license in a local
    |
0005|     option district in which Sunday sales of alcoholic beverages are
    |
0006|     not otherwise permitted under the Liquor Control Act may dispense

    |
0008|     received a concession from the board or other governing body in
    |
0009|     charge of the public celebration, provided the governing body of
    |
