Not really. They do not get 51% of their income from the sale of alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption. So, they are basically invalid on that premise. But, there is still a law requiring the hospitals to post the same wording as the 51% sign without the red 51 on it. The problem is the law saying this is a valid sign is no longer valid.T3hK1w1 wrote:51% signs posted at hospitals are valid, actually.
We have an interesting problem now with conflicting laws. The old law made the hospital off limits and required the notice. The new law says the hospital is not off limits unless it is posted with a 30.06 sign. The only case which would be 100% sure is if a hospital posted both signs. I find it ludicrous that the law could possibly intend for the posting of two signs. This leads me to think the newer law requiring the 30.06 posting would be the only valid one, but I have previously posted that other cops and DA's and judges might think either sign is valid warning under the law. I can see their logic also. It is going to take a volunteer to be charged and fight it to the appeals court level to get a case law precedent on what is actually required at a hospital.
