RELATING TO INTOXICATING LIQUOR.

Exempts the appointment and removal of an administrator of a liquor commission from civil service laws and requires the appointment to be subject to the advice and consent of the legislative body of the county. Allows the commission to issue a temporary license when the applicant or the transferor or transferee, in the case of a transfer of a license, is actively challenging a tax assessment, penalty, or other proceeding that prevents the issuance of a signed certificate from the appropriate federal or state tax agency. Limits the criminal history record check requirements for applicants of liquor licenses who are corporations or other entity to those persons with management or operational authority over the liquor-related operations. Allows, rather than requires, any investigator or other employee of the liquor commission to be represented and defended in any criminal or civil cause of action arising out of an action done as part of the investigator's or other employee's duty by certain specified counsel.
