This bill proposes to amend section 4-203 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning liquor licenses. The current law remains unchanged, but the bill introduces a new provision that prohibits the issuance of liquor licenses for locations that are entirely surrounded by Indian reservations, with the exception of designated state land ingress and egress points.
Specifically, the bill adds language that clarifies the definition of "surrounded on all sides" in relation to liquor license issuance, ensuring that the Department cannot grant licenses for these specific locations. This amendment aims to address concerns regarding the regulation of liquor licenses in areas adjacent to Indian reservations.
