(KMOX) - If you're 21 and up, but not in the mood to get a COVID-19 vaccine some proposed legislation in Illinois might change your mind. The "Shot and a Beer" bill will reward those who get a COVID-19 with free booze from any bar.
House Bill 4078 was introduced by Rep. Michael J. Zalewski on Tuesday, and if passed, would allow bars to give a free beer to any customer that can provide proof of being vaccinated against COVID-19.
“Provides that a retail licensee may provide a single drink of alcoholic liquor at no charge to a customer as part of a publicly advertised promotion to encourage participation in any COVID-19 vaccination program if the customer provides proof of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, and that the provision is inoperative on and after 6 months after the effective date of the amendatory Act," the bill synopsis states.
