Allows seasonal retail consumption alcoholic beverage license holder to exchange license for full-year consumption license.
This bill allows seasonal alcohol license holders (who currently can only sell beverages during specific summer or winter periods) to exchange their license for a full-year "plenary" license. It directly affects businesses operating under seasonal retail consumption licenses, enabling them to sell alcoholic beverages year-round without seasonal restrictions. The key mechanism requires licensees to surrender their seasonal license to the issuing authority, which then converts it to a plenary license. After conversion, licensees gain the same rights as full-year license holders, including selling alcohol 365 days annually. This change was enacted via P.L.2025, c.295, making the bill unnecessary.
