Denial of Alcoholic Beverage License
An Act relating to denial of an application for issuance of a new alcoholic beverage license in an established village.
| Updated: | February 16, 2000 |
This proposed bill is designed to update existing law governing alcoholic beverage license. Since it was first written there have been changes in the state that I feel need to be addressed.
Many visitors come to Alaska for a remote location experience. As a result we are seeing an increase in the number of remote resorts. These facilities give visitors the comfort of a rustic hotel and the freedom to truly experience Alaska. Like any such facility success is based on a combination of factors. Profits come from rooms, foodservice and beverage service. This bill once passed will make it easier for these remote facilities to operate more profitability. The restrictions on the license prevent the creation of a "Public Bar."
Passage of this measure will assist in the operation of a growing industry in the state.
