In 2017 the State passed a law that clarified off-premise beer retailer requirements.  This law required training and licensing.  HB 202 clarifies who needs training to get an off-premise license. It also creates a runway for completing the training and licensing.  The legislation clarifies that fees go up the longer an entity takes to complete the training and licensing.

Municipal Impact: HB 202 does not have a direct impact on a municipality.  However, the off-premise beer retailers that fails to complete the training and licensing will lose the ability to sell beer moving forward.  This could have a fiscal impact on sale tax revenues if a retailer loses its license and ability to sell beer.
