An act relating to compliance checks by the Division of Liquor Control

This bill requires Vermont's Division of Liquor Control to conduct regular compliance checks on all alcohol beverage licensees to verify they are following state laws regarding alcohol sales. Under the new rule, each licensed establishment must be inspected at least once every two years to ensure they are not selling alcohol to minors or violating other regulations. The legislation includes a $200,000 appropriation from the state General Fund in fiscal year 2025 to support these enforcement activities. The changes are scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2024, and apply to all first-, second-, third-, and fourth-class alcohol licensees in Vermont.
