Alcoholic beverages; increase number of package retailer's permits under certain conditions.
This bill allows existing package retailer permit holders in Mississippi to own one additional permit under specific conditions. To qualify, the new permit must be for a location in one of the three southernmost counties that is part of a major retail development project with at least $20 million in capital investment. The new location must also be at least 100 miles away from any other permit the owner currently holds. This change aims to expand retail alcohol sales opportunities for large-scale developments in designated southern regions while maintaining distance requirements between stores.
