AS REPORTED BY COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE & LABOR, MARCH 24, 1987
BACKGROUND:
A class I liquor license authorizes a class H licensee to sell liquor to members and guests of a society or organization on special occasions at a location other than the class H licensed premises. The licensee must obtain approval from the Liquor Control Board for each special occasion event at which the class I license will be used.
When the Board receives a request to use a class I license, the Board must notify the chief executive officer of the incorporated city or town or the county legislative authority, whichever is applicable. Each local government has 10 days from the receipt of the notification to file written objections to the proposed use of the class I license.
SUMMARY:
The requirement that the Liquor Control Board provide a ten day notification period to local officials prior to issuing a Class 1 license is deleted.
Fiscal Note: none requested
