BILL NUMBER:S3487
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in
relation to reducing the amount of fees charged to a licensed premises

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends Section 4 of section 100 of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Law to reduce the application fee for each additional bar, coun-

the amount of the annual license fee.
Section 2 provides that this act shall take effect on the ninetieth day

the application cost for the second and third bar or counter located on
