An Act returning liquor license control to municipalities
Bill reported favorably by committee and referred to the committee on Senate Ways and Means
Summary
This legislation amends state liquor laws so each municipality decides how many alcohol licenses to issue, requires a local licensing plan and public hearings, and makes new licenses non‑transferable. It also forces license holders to return a license if they close, sell, or otherwise cease using it, and repeals several state‑level licensing provisions. The changes affect local licensing authorities, businesses that sell alcohol, and the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.
