What’s in it
AI summary If a local authority denies someone's request for a beer, wine, or liquor license, that person can no longer appeal the decision to the state's alcoholic beverages division. Instead, the applicant must take their case to a local district court to have a judge review the denial.1
Read the official explanation
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.
