Bill > HB465

This bill mandates that various government agencies expedite the renewal process for permits and licenses related to liquor, tobacco, and vapor products by requiring that renewals be issued within 48 hours of filing, provided all requirements are met. Specifically, the bill amends existing law to require the Division of Liquor Control, county auditors, and the tax commissioner to issue renewals for liquor permits, cigarette retail and wholesale licenses, manufacturer and importer licenses, and tobacco and vapor product distribution licenses within 48 hours after an application is submitted, as long as the application meets all necessary requirements. The bill aims to streamline the renewal process for businesses in these regulated industries by reducing potential administrative delays. The changes apply to different types of licenses and permits across multiple sections of the Ohio Revised Code, ensuring a consistent 48-hour renewal timeframe for various business licenses in the tobacco, vapor, and liquor sectors.
