Bill Summary
Amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Requires an applicant for a retail license to provide the applicant's primary and supplementary email address to which all license-related notices may be served. Provides that certain licenses shall not be revoked or suspended except after a hearing by the State commission with reasonable notice to the licensee served by electronic or other reasonable means (instead of by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested) at least 10 days prior to the hearings at the last known place of business of the licensee or to the licensee's primary or supplemental email address and after an opportunity to appear and defend.
AI Summary
This bill updates the Liquor Control Act of 1934 to modernize how official notices are sent to liquor license applicants and licensees. Specifically, it requires applicants for retail liquor licenses to provide both a primary and a supplementary email address where all license-related communications can be sent. Furthermore, it changes the method for notifying licensees about potential license revocation or suspension hearings, allowing for service of notice via electronic means or other reasonable methods, in addition to the current requirement of registered or certified mail, ensuring licensees receive at least 10 days' notice before a hearing at their business address or their provided email addresses, and granting them an opportunity to defend themselves.
