relative to liquor licenses for restaurants.

This bill proposes changes to the rules for issuing liquor licenses to full-service restaurants in New Hampshire. It would require restaurants to prove that at least 15 percent of their sales come from food, though those with annual food sales over $75,000 would be exempt. Additionally, the law would mandate that these dining rooms be open for evening meals at least three days per week unless an exception is granted. The bill also clarifies that a dining room cannot be used as a substitute for a lounge and requires the licensing commission to review these conditions annually.
