SB97

Senate Bill 97 proposes an amendment to Arkansas code to relax current restrictions on retail liquor permit ownership. Under existing law, a single entity is generally prohibited from holding an interest in more than one retail liquor permit. This bill creates an exception allowing a person, firm, or corporation to hold up to two additional retail liquor permits. This expansion is subject to two specific limitations: the entity cannot hold more than one permit within the same county, and any additional permits must be located in counties with a population of 200,000 or more people according to the most recent census.
