The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding alcoholic beverage licensing in Arizona. Specifically, it would modify the language in section 4-204 to clarify the conditions under which individuals acting on behalf of a licensee can sell spirituous liquors. The bill would replace the phrase "upon receiving permission from the director" with "on receiving permission from the director" to streamline the language. Additionally, it would clarify that the provisions of this section do not apply if the license is transferred to the surviving spouse or guardian of the minor child of the licensee during the twenty-four-month period.

Furthermore, the bill would allow individuals or representatives who possess spirituous liquor due to enforcement of a security interest to sell that liquor to a licensed entity for resale, provided they receive permission from the director. This change would remove previous restrictions outlined in sections 4-201, 4-203, and 4-243.01, thereby expanding the authority granted under this subsection. Overall, the bill aims to clarify and update the existing legal framework surrounding the sale and transfer of liquor licenses.
