Bill > SB201

This bill creates a new "salon license" that would allow certain businesses to sell beer and wine on their premises. The key provisions are: - Local option districts can approve the issuance of salon licenses through an election process. - Salons that obtain a salon license can sell and serve beer and wine on their premises, but must derive at least 60% of their gross receipts from services or goods other than beer and wine. - Salon licensees are subject to various restrictions, such as not selling beer and wine for off-premises consumption and ceasing alcohol sales by 11 pm or when other services end, whichever is earlier. - The bill exempts salon licenses from certain requirements that apply to other liquor licenses. - The definition of "salon" in the bill includes businesses that offer hair, skin, nail, or body care services.
