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 the town of Union in Eau Claire County to issue one "Class B"
license in addition to the "Class B" licenses authorized under the town's quota.
