Comments
This is a bill to allow a just two businesses to have a liquor license, right? Can anybody tell us which businesses these are? I think the reason that this requires an act of the legislature is because it's amending § 4.1-126, which exempts places from blanket rules that prohibit alcohol sales. For instance, localities are free to prohibit alcohol sales, but this section specifies that liquor licenses may be provided within the Jefferson National Forest, George Washington National Forest, and along the Blue Ridge Parkway. At some point, things started getting specific ("at an altitude of 2,800 feet or more above sea level on property adjoining the Blue Ridge Parkway at Mile Marker No. 18"), and now they're really specific.
