Summary

The law lets any municipality with 50,000 or more residents adopt ordinances that are stricter than state rules for where new off‑premises liquor stores can be located. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Commissioner must refuse a license if a proposed store does not follow those local rules. This gives larger cities more control over alcohol outlet placement.
