Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding licenses issued to resort city restaurants.

Idaho’s liquor license quota system is based on a city’s residential population. In resort cities, where populations fluctuate widely based on tourism, residential population is a poor measure of the actual number of people in town at a given time. This bill would create a resort city restaurant liquor license, allowing up to three additional liquor licenses for restaurants in resort cities, subject to approval by the city. The majority of the restaurant’s revenue must be from food, and liquor may only be sold during the hours food is served.
