RULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
The purpose of this amendment is to establish a firm deadline for filing an application for a special use permit liquor license.
Summary of the rule or change:
Special use permit liquor licenses are granted by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission at its regular monthly meeting. This rule establishes the 10th of the month as a deadline for filing a completed application for a license. If the 10th falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or state or federal holiday, the filing deadline is on the next business day after the 10th of the month. Late filings will be considered by the commission the following month.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
- Section 32A-1-107
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
None--This rule merely enhances the efficiency of the department by allowing sufficient time to review and process license applications, conduct premise inspections, identify any issues relating to the application, and prepare summaries and recommendations for the commission. The rule will have no effect on the state budget for costs or savings.
local governments:
None--This rule primarily enhances the efficiency of the department by allowing sufficient time to review and process license applications, conduct premise inspections, identity any issues relating to the application, and prepare summaries and recommendations for the commission. The rule will have no effect on local government budgets for costs or savings.
small businesses:
None--This rule primarily enhances the efficiency of the department by allowing sufficient time to review and process license applications, conduct premise inspections, identify any issues relating to the application, and to prepare summaries and recommendations for the commission. The rule will have no effect on small business budgets for costs or savings. At most, the rule could delay a business's ability to sell alcohol for one month, but only in instances where the business fails to timely file a completed application.
persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:
None--This rule primarily enhances the efficiency of the department by allowing sufficient time to review and process license applications, conduct premise inspections, identify any issues relating to the application, and prepare summaries and recommendations for the commission. The rule will have no effect on other persons' budgets for costs or savings. At most, the rule could delay a business's ability to sell alcohol for one month, but only in instances where the business fails to timely file a completed application.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
At most, the rule could delay a business's ability to sell alcohol for one month, but only in instances where the business fails to timely file a completed application.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
The department's application forms state that an application and supporting documentation must be completed and submitted to the department no later than the 10th of the month to be considered by the commission. However, this has been treated as a "soft" deadline by many applicants who press staff to make exceptions for them. This has resulted in last minute modifications to commission agendas causing confusion during commission meetings. This rule formalizes the deadline and requires applicants to complete the application process by a date certain which will give staff the time they need to fully process the applications for the commission.
