Bill Summary

Part I: Clarifies that class 10 special licenses may be granted for a period not to exceed three days per application. In counties with fewer than two hundred thousand residents but more than one hundred thousand residents, amends application requirements for class 10 special licenses, including requirements related to electronic submission, naming, and single applications for certain adjacent parcels of land, and prohibits the conditional acceptance of applications based on certain factors. Part II: Increases the maximum percentage of fines assessed by county liquor commissions that may be used to fund public liquor-related educational or enforcement programs. (CD1)

AI Summary

This bill makes two primary changes to liquor laws. First, it streamlines the application process for a "class 10 special license," which is a temporary liquor license for fundraising events lasting up to three days, particularly in counties with populations between 100,000 and 200,000 residents. This includes allowing electronic submissions with electronic signatures, accepting a first and last name as sufficient identification, permitting a single application for adjacent parcels of land owned by the same entity, and prohibiting conditional approval based on factors like visual renderings or inspections by other agencies. Second, the bill increases the maximum percentage of fines collected by county liquor commissions that can be used to fund public liquor-related educational or enforcement programs from ten percent to twenty percent.
