Section 32A-1-107 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 permits; 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 have been 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 holding an on-premise banquet license. It defines what type of businesses qualify for an on-premise banquet license; establishes application requirements including bond and insurance requirements; sets guidelines for the licensee to purchase from and/or return alcoholic beverage products to the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (DABC); sets hours of operation; sets requirements for liquor dispensing, liquor storage, and the use of alcoholic product flavoring; establishes requirements for menus and price lists; sets requirements for employee identification badges; permits on-premise banquet facilities to purchase and utilize mini-bottles; and establishes guidelines for reporting required information to DABC. All of the regulations set forth in this rule remain important and applicable to the operations of an on-premise banquet facility. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
