AI Summary
This bill allows the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission to issue a specific number of new "three-way permits," which are licenses allowing the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption, to several municipalities. Specifically, the town of Schererville can receive up to three new permits, the city of Lafayette up to three, the city of West Lafayette up to two, the city of Delphi up to two, and the city of Bloomington up to two. Additionally, restaurants located within a transit development district in Michigan City can be issued up to eight new three-way permits. These permits are generally intended for restaurants located within designated economic development or redevelopment areas and have specific requirements regarding cost, transferability, and what happens if business operations cease for an extended period. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it would take effect immediately upon passage.
