Bill > HB2328

This bill makes technical corrections to Arizona's liquor licensing law regarding how personal representatives or fiduciaries can manage an existing liquor license after a licensee's death, incapacitation, or financial hardship. Specifically, the bill updates language to clarify that a personal representative (such as an administrator, executor, guardian, receiver, trustee, or assignee) can continue to sell spirituous liquors (alcoholic beverages) under the original licensee's license for up to 24 months after their appointment, with permission from the state director. The bill also modifies language about transferring licenses, particularly in cases involving a surviving spouse or guardian of a minor child, and provides provisions for entities holding spirituous liquor as a result of enforcing a security interest in a wholesaler's property. The changes are primarily grammatical, replacing phrases like "shall" with "does" and "upon" with "on", and making minor punctuation adjustments, while maintaining the core legal intent of the original statute.
