ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMT: Provides relative to alcoholic beverage permits
HB 424 modifies Louisiana's rules for issuing certain alcohol permits. It requires a local vote (local option election) before new off-premises alcohol permits (Class B or C) can be granted in areas that were previously prohibition zones but have been annexed into municipalities that allow alcohol sales. The law does not affect permits already issued before the bill's effective date. It specifically applies only to Class B and C retail permits for off-premises alcohol sales in these annexed areas.
