SUMMARY
This amendment strikes the sections of the bill that remove limits on the number of agency liquor stores established under state law and allow municipalities to set a limit on the number of agency liquor stores. The amendment provides that an applicant for an agency liquor store license that is a branch of a chain retailer that has held agency liquor store licenses without violation is not subject to the requirement that the applicant be licensed to sell beer and wine for one year prior to being eligible for an agency liquor store license. The amendment reduces the fee for the Class VIII license established by the bill from $900 to $700 and provides that the fee may be prorated.
