Amends existing law to provide certain requirements for when certain liquor licenses are in actual use.
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- Amends existing law to provide certain requirements for when certain liquor licenses are in actual use.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The statute will set a requirement of 20 hours per week and the 20 liquor-by-the-drink sales per week as the definition of "actual use." Idaho Code 23-908(4) already requires that newly issued liquor licenses be put into use six days a week for eight hours a day. With new legislation the state is not dictating which days of the week a business must be open only that they have to be open for the legitimate sale of liquor 20-hours per week. It is up to each individual licensee to decide their business hours for the 20-hours. Adopting a standard will allow remote business to operate within the confines of the rules, but also provides the agency with an enforceable standard when liquor licenses are not in actual use.
