The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5425, seeks to amend title 30 of the general statutes to allow heritage railroads to sell alcoholic liquor for on-premises consumption. This change would introduce a new provision permitting these railroads to obtain a liquor permit by paying a fee of one hundred dollars for a six-month permit or two hundred dollars for an annual permit.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of the new provisions regarding the sale of alcoholic liquor by heritage railroads. The intent of the legislation is to provide these railroads with the opportunity to enhance their services and potentially increase revenue through the sale of alcoholic beverages.
