§ 44-3-421 — Public transportation system license

(1) The state licensing
authority shall issue a public transportation system license to every person
operating a public transportation system that sells alcohol beverages by the drink
to be served and consumed in or upon any dining, club, or parlor car; plane; bus; or
other conveyance of the public transportation system. A public transportation
system license issued to a commercial airline authorizes the licensee to sell alcohol
beverages by the drink in an airport or airport concourse private club room that is in
existence and operated by the licensee on or before April 1, 1995. A public
transportation system license issued to a common carrier railroad authorizes the
licensee to sell alcohol beverages by the drink at any event not open to the public
that is held in a museum owned and operated by the licensee if the licensee notifies
the appropriate local law enforcement agency of the event no later than fourteen
days prior to the scheduled date of the event.

(2) It is unlawful for any owner, part owner, shareholder, or person interested
directly or indirectly in a public transportation system license to conduct, own
either in whole or in part, or be directly or indirectly interested in any other business
licensed pursuant to this article 3 or article 4 of this title 44; except that a person
licensed under this section may be interested in any other retail license issued
pursuant to this article 3 or article 4 of this title 44 or in a financial institution
referred to in section 44-3-308 (4).
