Bill Summary

Relative to alcoholic beverage license suspensions. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill aims to eliminate the distinction between supermarkets, convenience stores, and package stores when a licensee is found to have violated the law by selling alcohol to minors or intoxicated individuals, resulting in the suspension of their license. Under this bill, if a licensee is suspended, all commercial activity within the licensed establishment, including the sale of non-alcoholic items, must cease for the duration of the suspension. This applies to any city or town that has voted to authorize the granting of licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages.
