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 change the phrase "upon receiving permission from the director" to "on receiving permission from the director," streamlining the language. Additionally, it would specify 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 meet the qualifications of section 4-202 and possess spirituous liquor due to enforcement of a security interest to sell that liquor to a licensed reseller, provided they receive permission from the director. This change would replace the previous language that restricted the authority granted under this subsection, thereby expanding the ability to sell spirituous liquor under certain conditions. Overall, the bill aims to clarify and enhance the regulatory framework surrounding the sale of alcoholic beverages in Arizona.
