What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits a person from selling alcohol beverages at retail unless

the seller possesses a license or permit authorizing the sale. A "Class B" license

authorizes the retail sale of intoxicating liquor for consumption on the retail

premises and, subject to various restrictions, the retail sale of intoxicating liquor in

original packages for consumption off the retail premises. Current law imposes a

quota on the number of "Class B" licenses that a municipality may issue. This quota

is generally determined by a formula based on the number of licenses previously

issued by the municipality and the municipality's population. Current law also

provides a limited number of quota exceptions.

This bill allows a village in Waushara County to issue one "Class B" license in

addition to the "Class B" licenses authorized under the village's quota.
