FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

DESCRIPTION



This proposal modifies various provisions regarding liquor control. The proposal removes the restriction on locating a business which sells intoxicating liquor within 100 feet of schools and churches. The proposal would allow the sale of malt liquor at retail on Sunday. Currently Sunday liquor sales may only occur between 11:00 a.m. and midnight. This proposal allows Sunday liquor sales between 9:00 a.m. and midnight.



The proposal creates a presumption that if a container is sealed and specifies the contents as being intoxicating liquor that the contents shall be presumed to be intoxicating liquor.



The proposal also provides that only valid and unexpired driver's licenses and identification cards may be presented as proof of age for the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Employees designated as peace officers by the Supervisor of the Division of Liquor Control shall have full authority to make arrests for certain offenses.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
