Ensures that the provisions governing liquor licenses are consistent with respect to public interest factors

Summary

The bill revises the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to require the licensing authority to consider a set list of factors—such as nearby licenses, traffic, noise, and past violations—when deciding on new liquor permits. It also lets the authority grant a license within 500 feet of three existing licenses if a hearing and municipal consultation show it serves the public interest. The changes aim to make licensing decisions more consistent and transparent.
