Section 32B-2-202 authorizes the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Commission to adopt and issue rules; set policy by rule that establishes criteria and procedures for granting, denying, suspending, or revoking licenses; and prescribe the conduct, management, and equipment of any premises where alcohol is sold, served, consumed, or stored.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments were received.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule regulates operations at establishments licensed as airport lounges. It prohibits transfers of airport lounge licenses without approval; sets procedures for applying for airport lounge licenses; requires licensees to maintain bonds; sets procedures for placing liquor orders with the DABC; allows licensees to open liquor storage areas during non-sales hours to take inventory, restock, repair and clean; allows customers to run a tab; explains what can be kept in liquor storage areas; sets parameters for use of liquor flavorings; regulates use of price lists to ensure accuracy; and requires employees to have an ID badge to help law enforcement officers identify employees. All of the regulations set forth in this rule remain important and applicable to the operations of airport lounges. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
