BILL NUMBER:S3616 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to removing the street level entrance requirement for licenses for selling alcohol at retail for consumption off the premises PURPOSE: This legislation removes the requirement that stores selling alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumptions be required to have a street level entrance. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Eliminates the language requiring establishments which sell alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption have their principal entrance at street level. Section 2: Act shall take effect on the 180th day after it becomes law and effective immediately repeals any rules or regulations necessary to implement this act. JUSTIFICATION: The current provision of law was put in place following prohibition. The language was an attempt to uncover and eliminate speak easy's and illegal clubs. In current times, when municipalities are attempting to redevelop their downtowns and illegal liquor stores are no longer an issue, this outdated provision of the law is no longer neces- sary.
