FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
This proposal could have a small positive fiscal impact to small businesses since they would no longer be required to report to the division of liquor control, the identity of any employee convicted of a felony and could also allow felons to serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
DESCRIPTION
This proposal modifies alcohol licensing and reporting procedures through the Department of Public Safety. Current law is a holdover from Prohibition. This provision removes outdated language and allows felons to serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcohol licensees no longer have to report felon employees to the Department of Public Safety.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
