This Bill will modernize the process and requirements for issuance of liquor licenses for off premises consumption. The current process and requirements do not consider population growth. Minimum distance requirements are enhanced while increases in population growth will now be considered to arrive at a safety and convenience balance. The funds acquired though higher license fees will be allocated to OABCC, DATE and the State Public School Improvement Fund. The OABCC can then invest in tools of efficiency, DATE can strengthen its enforcement capabilities, and our public schools will receive additional funding to be employed as the Secretary of Education deems appropriate.

An Act To Amend Title 4 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Alcoholic Liquors.
