Alcoholic beverage control; retail licenses; commercial lifestyle center licenses. Allows the Board of Directors of the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority to grant a commercial lifestyle center license and a performing arts facility license for the same designated area in any municipality with a population in excess of 450,000 and an annual tourism fiscal impact in excess of $3.5 billion provided that (i) the performing arts facility license is limited to prescheduled events and (ii) such licenses shall not be used simultaneously.

AI Summary

This bill allows the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Authority's Board of Directors to issue a commercial lifestyle center license and a performing arts facility license for the same designated area within any municipality that has over 450,000 residents and generates more than $3.5 billion annually from tourism. This new provision is specifically designed for such large, tourism-heavy areas, enabling them to have both types of licenses concurrently, provided that the performing arts facility license is restricted to pre-scheduled events and that the two licenses are not used at the exact same time.
