HB 1757 -- LIQUOR LICENSE

CO-SPONSORS:  George, Lograsso, Hoppe

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Local Government and Related Matters by a vote of 16 to 0.

This bill allows the Supervisor of Liquor Control to issue a
retail license to sell intoxicating liquor between the hours of
11:00 a.m. and midnight on Sunday to any establishment located in
an international airport and owned or leased and operated by an
airline.  The license will cost $200 in addition to all other
fees required by law.  City and county regulations and fees will
also apply to the license.

The bill contains an emergency clause.

FISCAL NOTE:  Increase to General Revenue Fund of $1,333 in FY
2003, $1,600 in FY 2004, and $1,600 in FY 2005.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill will allow private
clubs to serve members drinks at airports.  The state only has
three of these clubs.  The club members pay a membership fee and
should be able to purchase liquor.  Members often have to leave
the club to buy a drink and bring it back to the club.

Testifying for the bill was Representative George.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
