(a) Upon application and upon submission of a reasonable malt beverage sales and control plan mutually agreeable to the applicant and the licensing authority, the appropriate licensing authority shall issue a special malt beverage permit for the sale of malt beverages only at events conducted on the grounds of an indoor or outdoor rodeo with a total seating capacity of over seven thousand five hundred (7,500). The permit may be issued without public notice or hearing. An application for a permit under this section shall be accompanied by a designation of the event for which the application is sought specifying the type of event and the name of the sponsor. The malt beverages shall be served only on grounds contiguous or immediately adjacent to the arena in areas specifically designated by the permittee and approved by the licensing authority. Contiguous or adjacent grounds shall be fenced or otherwise enclosed as approved by the licensing authority. The issuance of a malt beverage permit under this subsection shall not be considered an alcoholic beverage permit issued on the basis of population as provided in W.S. 12-4-201. Malt beverages shall only be sold for consumption under a permit issued under this section during the dates of an event. W.S. 12-5-201 shall not apply to this section. (b) The fee for a permit issued under subsection (a) of this section shall be established by rule of the licensing authority but shall not exceed two (2) times the maximum fee provided for twenty-four (24) hour permits under W.S. 12-4-502(e) for each day of the event. (c) A licensing authority may adopt rules to implement this section provided: (i) Permit fees may be graduated based upon expected attendance at the event; (ii) No permittee shall be assessed any additional fee by a licensing authority for the issuance of a special malt beverage permit under this section. Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit a licensing authority from: (A) Negotiating with a permittee for the voluntary payment of costs incurred by the licensing authority related to the permitted event; or (B) Recouping costs incurred by the licensing authority related to the permitted event to which the licensing authority is otherwise entitled under Wyoming law.
