Prohibits certain sales of alcoholic beverages within 1,000 feet of schools or religious institutions.
This bill increases the prohibited zone for alcohol sales around schools and religious institutions from 200 feet to 1,000 feet. It directly affects alcohol vendors seeking new licenses or renewals near public/private schools, licensed child care centers, family day care homes, or religious institutions. Key provisions include expanding the protected locations to include child care facilities and allowing existing licenses within 200 feet (for pre-1933 licenses) or between 200-1,000 feet (for pre-enactment licenses) to continue operating. The law takes immediate effect upon passage.
