Description: |
Proposal #1 - The first bill would amend the Liquor Code to grant municipalities the authority to issue extended use permits to liquor licensees. Under current law, the following restrictions apply to the sale of liquor and malt or brewed beverages:
- Hotel and restaurant liquor licensees may not sell liquor or malt or brewed beverages from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. on any given day with the exception of Sunday, whereby, liquor sales are not permitted after 2 a.m.
- Club licensees may not sell liquor or malt or brewed beverages from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. on any given day.
Before taking any applications for extended use permits under advisement, the municipal governing body would be required to hold a public hearing to gather information to determine whether the extended use permit would adversely affect the welfare, health, peace and morals of the municipality or its residents.
