DAR File No.: 39804
Filed: 10/02/2015 09:59:17 AM

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

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 to sell beer for on-premise consumption (non-tavern/recreational amenity). It prohibits the transfer of the license to another without approval; requires licensees to obtain a separate on-premise beer license and restaurant or limited restaurant liquor license to operate the same premises differently at different times of the day; sets procedures for applying for a license; requires maintenance of a bond and insurance; allows storage areas to be opened during non-sales hours to take inventory, restock, repair and clean; requires employees to wear an ID badge to help law enforcement officers identify them; and sets parameters for the service of draft beer. All of the regulations set forth in this rule remain important and applicable to the operations of an on-premise beer retailer. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
