What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, municipalities issue licenses for the retail sale of fermented malt beverages (beer) and intoxicating liquor. In limited circumstances, the Department of Revenue (DOR) also issues permits for the retail sale of beer and intoxicating liquor. Current law, as created in 2009 Wisconsin Act 28 , requires DOR, upon application, to issue retail beer and intoxicating liquor permits to American Indian tribes meeting certain criteria.
This bill repeals the requirement that DOR issue retail beer and intoxicating liquor permits to American Indian tribes and specifies that any previously issued permit is void as of the effective date of the bill.
