HF 217: Concerning review of disapproval of applications for retail alcohol licenses by local authorities
Died when the session ended · The 2024 session adjourned on April 19, 2024, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill eliminates the ability of an applicant for a retail alcohol license, wine permit, or beer permit to appeal the denial of the license by the applicable local authority to the administrator of the alcoholic beverages division of the department of commerce. Instead, the bill provides that an applicant may seek judicial review of the denial of the license by filing an action in the district court of the county where the premises covered by the application is located.
