Bill 29: The Tailgating Act

This bill primarily affects businesses and event organizers in Saskatchewan who hold liquor permits or special occasion permits — think sports venues, event spaces, bars, and restaurants hosting outdoor or ticketed events. If you run a venue or organize events like tailgate parties, game-day gatherings, or community festivals, this bill would let you allow guests to bring their own alcohol onto your premises under specific regulated conditions. You'd also have new legal obligations around checking ID whenever someone appears to be a minor trying to drink — your staff would need to card them and refuse service if they can't prove their age. The rules apply whether you're a solo event organizer pulling a special occasion permit or a larger licensed establishment.
