Staff Analysis of the Legislation

Currently, in order to allow the sale of distilled spirits in a county, the Board of Commissioners must authorize/initiate, then a petition must be signed by at least 35% of registered voters, and then a referendum must be passed by voters. This legislation allows the county or the voters to initiate a referendum authorizing, or prohibiting, the manufacture or sale of distilled spirits without having to go through the 35% petition process.
