Wisconsin Passes Bill to Overhaul Liquor Laws, Sparking Controversy Among Wedding Barn Owners.

The Wisconsin State Assembly passed a bill to overhaul the state's liquor industry, affecting licensing, production, sale, and distribution of alcohol. While the bill has received support from major brewing companies and the Tavern League, wedding barn owners and private event venues say it could put them out of business. The new plan would require wedding barns to have a liquor license, limiting them to rent the property for no more than six days per year and one day per month. Wedding barn owners hope for revisions before the bill passes into law.
