Any drinking establishment or drinking establishment/restaurant license shall allow the licensee to offer for sale, sell and serve alcoholic liquor for consumption on the licensed premises which may be open to the public, and to serve samples of alcoholic liquor free of charge on licensed premises. No charge of any sort may be made for a sample serving. A person may be served no more than five samples per visit. Samples may not be served to a minor. No samples may be removed from the licensed premises. Providing samples is prohibited for any licensee who charges a cover charge or entry fee at any time during the business day. No consideration shall be requested or required for entry onto the premises, participation in any event taking place on the premises or to remain on the premises.

Alcoholic liquor and cereal malt beverage for the sampling as provided in this section shall be withdrawn from the inventory of the licensee. A person other than the licensee or the licensee's agent or employee may not dispense or participate in the dispensing of alcoholic beverages under this section, except that the holder of a supplier's permit or such permit holder's agent or employee may participate in and conduct product tastings of alcoholic beverages upon a licensee's premises as provided in K.S.A. 41-2656 and amendments thereto.
