Overview
This bill allows for the transfer and sale of inactive liquor licenses from municipalities with a surplus to qualifying smart growth municipalities that lack sufficient licenses for new development projects. It aims to encourage real estate development, particularly restaurants, in these communities by providing access to existing licenses. The bill establishes criteria for qualifying municipalities and outlines a process for the sale, including fees and approvals from both the sending and receiving municipalities. It also modifies existing law to allow municipalities with urban enterprise zones or Metropolitan Planning Areas to acquire and retain inactive licenses.
