An Act to ensure alcoholic beverages licensing economic opportunity and geographic equity

Summary

The bill adds a rule that a new license to sell alcohol for off‑site consumption cannot be issued if the proposed site is within 500 feet of another off‑premises alcohol license, unless a local licensing board determines after a hearing that it will not harm public health, safety, or welfare. The restriction takes effect for licenses issued on or after Jan 1 2027 and gives denied applicants the right to appeal under existing law.
