Description

Alcoholic beverage sale nuisances. Any locality by or through its mayor, executive, or attorney may file a complaint in a circuit court to enjoin the sale of alcohol at any establishment licensed by the Alcohol Beverage Control Board. The basis for such complaint shall be that the continued sale of alcohol at the establishment presents a threat to public safety as a result of frequent criminal acts occurring on or near the premises. The injunction would be automatically lifted upon final disposition of a mandatory ABC Board hearing into the matter. Read the Bill »
