Concerning fines levied by a licensing authority for violations of laws related to alcohol beverages.

Bill Summary:

Currently, the state or a local licensing authority may suspend or revoke a licensee's license or permit for the licensee's violation of a law related to the regulation of alcohol beverages. The licensee may choose to pay a fine instead of the revocation or suspension.

The act:

  • Authorizes the state and local licensing authorities to fine the licensee initially;
  • Increases the potential fine for violations related to alcohol beverages from between $200 and $5,000 to between $500 and $100,000; and
  • Requires the manner in which licensees pay fines to the state licensing authority to be determined by the state licensing authority.
