What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill repeals the current law that allows the electors of a municipality to

determine, by referendum, whether the municipality may issue retail licenses for the

sale of malt beverages or intoxicating liquors or whether a liquor store operated by

the municipality should cease operation. The bill also repeals the current law that

allows the electors of a residence district within the municipality to file a petition to

prohibit the municipality from issuing such licenses to retail establishments within

the district. A residence district is any compact, contiguous territory within a

municipality where not less than 100 and not more than 750 qualified electors reside.

The bill also modifies the current law and the Department of Revenue's

administrative rules related to retaining invoices for the sale of malt beverages or

intoxicating liquors so that the person who is required to keep such invoices may

retain those invoices in electronic form only.
