This bill enacts new provisions under R.S. 26:81.1 and 281.1, establishing a temporary moratorium on the issuance of alcoholic beverage permits within District 3 of the Louisiana House of Representatives. The moratorium will be in effect from August 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026, during which no new permits for the sale of alcoholic beverages will be granted for licensed premises classified as Class B or Class C that have less than five thousand square feet of public habitable floor area.

Existing permits that are valid as of August 1, 2025, may continue to be renewed as long as the permit holders comply with all relevant laws and local ordinances. However, these permit holders will not be allowed to obtain permits for additional locations within the district. If a permit holder ceases operations or fails to maintain a valid permit for any reason, they will lose the right to renew their permit.
