NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, State of Florida
has received the petition for declaratory statement from Club Madonna, Docket Number DS 2011-015.
The petition seeks the agency's opinion as to the applicability of Section 561.01, Florida Statutes, as it applies to the petitioner.

The entertainment club would not offer storage for the alcoholic beverages or any supplies for the consumption of the alcoholic beverages; except for non-alcoholic drinks already sold on the premises.

No payment would be made to the entertainment club for consumption of alcohol on premises by its patrons. Petitioner inquires whether such a practice without an alcoholic beverage license would be in violation of the Florida Beverage Laws, Chs. 561-565, F.S.
