Bill Summary
This increases the fee for an on-premises license for barbershops and salons, requires the liquor commission to inspect such licensees, and requires the liquor commission to make an annual report to the legislature regarding the issuance of licenses and the number and type of violations which occurred.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing law to allow licensed barbershops and salons to serve one alcoholic beverage per customer per appointment, with specific limits on the type and amount of alcohol, and increases the annual fee for this on-premises license from $100 to $480. It also mandates that all employees complete responsible beverage service training offered by the Liquor Commission, requires the Liquor Commission to conduct annual inspections of these establishments, and obligates the Liquor Commission to submit a yearly report to the legislature detailing license activity, inspections, and violations. Importantly, the bill clarifies that individuals under 21 are allowed in the establishment but cannot be served or consume alcohol, and it prohibits issuing licenses to salons or barbershops located within private residences.
