(c) This section does not prohibit a person who applies for an on-premise banquet license to also apply for a package agency if otherwise qualified.
(2) The commission may issue an on-premise banquet license to establish on-premise banquet licensees in the numbers the commission considers proper for the storage, sale, offer for sale, furnishing, and consumption of an alcoholic product at a banquet or as part of room service activities operated by an on-premise banquet licensee.

(b) Notwithstanding the definition of "convention center" in Section 32B-1-102, an on-premise banquet license applicable to a grandfathered facility may be renewed until October 31, 2011, if the on-premise banquet licensee is qualified for an on-premise banquet license except for the requirement that the facility be in total at least 30,000 square feet.
