The bill also includes various deletions of specific provisions related to the issuance of licenses in buildings near schools and places of worship, as well as exemptions for certain license holders and locations.

The bill contains a series of deletions to current law that allow certain boards and councils to exempt proposed licenses from certain provisions. The deletions specify the locations and types of licenses that can be exempted. The bill also includes a deletion that requires the proposed license and underlying property owner to be current in the payment of local and state taxes before the exemption can take effect.
