Bill > A08547

This bill modifies the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law by increasing the number of off-premise retail licenses that can be granted to a single person under section 63 from one to two licenses. Currently, the law limits a person to obtaining only one off-premise retail license, which typically allows a business to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises (such as a liquor store). The proposed change would provide more flexibility for retail license holders by allowing them to obtain a second license, potentially enabling business expansion or the operation of multiple locations. The amendment is straightforward and would take effect immediately upon passage, providing an immediate change to the existing licensing restrictions for alcohol retailers.
