FEES/LICENSES/PERMITS: Creates a task force to study ways to streamline the application for and issuance of state and local alcoholic beverage permits.
What changed between versions
The bill's title and purpose were updated to explicitly include 'parish, and municipal' alcoholic beverage permits, clarifying that the task force will study all three levels of permitting.
The resolution was updated to require a written report to the Senate and the Legislative Research Library by February 1, 2026, replacing the vague reference to reporting 'as required' by statute.
New provisions were added to establish a quorum requirement and specify that all official actions must receive an affirmative vote of a majority of the members.
The resolution now explicitly states that task force members serve without compensation, except for per diem or expense reimbursements they are individually entitled to through their organizations.
Specific deadlines were added for member designations (September 1, 2025) and the first meeting (October 1, 2025), providing a clear schedule for the task force's operations.
Formatting and header information were updated to reflect the bill's enrolled status, including changes to the document title and page numbering.
