Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to temporary retail permits for new applicants
Purpose of general idea of bill
This bill would require the State Liquor Authority to include in their annual report information related to the number of licenses applied for under various sections of law and the length of time required for the approval or denial of such license.
This bill would also authorize the state liquor authority to issue temporary retail permits for new applicants similar to those already authorized for those seeking to transfer a retail permit.
Justification
There is a growing concern with the length of time it is taking for the State Liquor Authority to approve new licenses for those seeking to open or re-open on premise restaurants, bars and taverns. Given that, this bill would authorize the Authority to issue a temporary permit for new applicants for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty days thus allowing these businesses to open while their applications are studiously examined.
This bill would also require that the annual report of the State Liquor Authority include information related to the number of licenses applied for under various sections of law and the length of time required for the approval or denial of such license.
