ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMT: Provides relative to the location of a premises for the issuance and revocation of an alcohol permit
HB 687 restricts where alcohol permits can be issued in Louisiana by prohibiting permits within 300 feet (500 feet in unincorporated areas) of schools, churches, playgrounds, day care centers, correctional facilities, or homes in historic neighborhoods. Municipalities may choose to measure distances by walking path or straight line for new permits, but only prospectively. If a property with an alcohol permit is sold while located within this restricted zone, the permit is revoked as of the sale date. Businesses can reapply for a new permit after revocation.
