Authorizes special permits to remain open during certain hours of the morning
This bill allows businesses licensed to sell alcohol for on-site consumption to apply for special permits to operate between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. on January 1st. The legislation specifically targets retail establishments in communities where sales must cease early on New Year's Day, enabling them to serve customers during those specific morning hours. To obtain this permission, business owners must pay a fee of $51 per day. The law takes effect 60 days after it is signed into law, giving authorities time to implement any necessary rules.
