MINOR
The bill was amended to clarify that the distance restriction for alcohol licenses applies to buildings 'occupied as' schools or places of worship, rather than 'occupied exclusively as' them. This change removes the strict requirement that the building must be used solely for these purposes, potentially expanding eligibility for licenses in mixed-use buildings. Additionally, the bill's procedural status was updated to indicate it has been amended and reported again from committee.
Scope change
The scope of the exemption for alcohol sales near schools and places of worship was broadened by removing the word 'exclusively', allowing licenses in buildings with mixed uses.
ELIGIBILITY

Removed the word 'exclusively' from the requirement that a building be occupied as a school or place of worship, allowing alcohol licenses in mixed-use buildings within 200 feet.
