A bill

TO AMEND THE SOUTH 
CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY ADDING SECTION 61-4-524 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE 
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE MAY ISSUE CERTAIN SPECIAL PERMITS TO AN ESTABLISHMENT 
THAT AUTHORIZES THE PURCHASE AND SALE FOR ON-PREMISES CONSUMPTION OF BEER AND 
WINE AT AN OCCASION HELD ON THE GROUNDS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OUTSIDE OF NORMAL 
BUSINESS HOURS.

Be it enacted by the 
General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Article 5, Chapter 4, Title 61 of the S.C. Code is 
amended by adding:

 Section 
61-4-524. In addition to the permits authorized pursuant to the provisions of 
this article, the department also may issue a special permit to the owner, or 
his designee, of an establishment that is permitted to sell beer or wine for 
on-premises consumption, that is located in this State, which authorizes the 
purchase and sale for on-premises consumption of beer and wine at an occasion 
held on the grounds of the establishment outside of normal business hours. The 
department may charge ten dollars per day for the special permit and may issue 
up to two special permits per month to each establishment pursuant to this 
section. Notwithstanding another provision of this article, the issuance of 
this permit authorizes the permit holder to purchase beer and wine from 
licensed wholesalers in the same manner that a person with appropriate licenses 
issued pursuant to this title purchases beer and wine from licensed 
wholesalers. The department in its discretion may specify the terms and 
conditions of the permit, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 4, Title 61, 
and other applicable provisions under Title 61.

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval 
by the Governor.
