Alcohol Beverages Extended Service Hours Permit

Current law restricts the sale of malt, vinous, or spirituous liquors to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m., and restricts the sale of fermented malt beverages to between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 12 midnight. The bill creates an extended service hours permit to authorize certain liquor licensees that are authorized to sell alcohol beverages for consumption on the licensed premises to sell alcohol beverages outside of these specified hours. A licensee must obtain a permit from both the state and local licensing authorities before operating during extended hours.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
