Overview: HD 430, An Act authorizing charity alcohol auctions, is a proposed bill introduced on November 29, 2025.

Purpose and Intent: The bill seeks to allow charitable organizations to host auctions where attendees can bid on and purchase alcoholic beverages, with the proceeds going to support the organization's charitable mission.

Key Provisions:
- Permits charitable, non-profit organizations to obtain a special permit to hold alcohol auctions
- Requires organizations to follow regulations on the storage, handling, and sale of alcoholic beverages
- Specifies that all revenue from the auctions must be used for the organization's charitable purposes

Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would benefit charitable organizations by providing a new fundraising mechanism, while also potentially increasing access to rare or unique alcoholic products for auction attendees. Local alcohol regulators would be responsible for overseeing the permit process and compliance.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill is currently in the proposed stage and would need to go through the standard legislative process, including committee hearings and votes in both chambers, before potentially being signed into law.
