1 17 the following new subsection:
1 18 NEW SUBSECTION. 5. Notwithstanding subsection 3, if a
1 19 retail permit is suspended or revoked under this section, the
1 20 suspension or revocation shall apply only to the place of

1 23 business to which the retail permit applies but at which a
1 24 violation did not occur.
1 25 EXPLANATION
1 26 This bill relates to the penalties associated with
1 27 specified liquor control violations. Currently, Code section
1 28 123.50, subsection 3, which imposes civil penalties for
1 29 violations of Code section 123.49, provides that upon a fourth
1 30 conviction within a period of three years, a violator's liquor
1 31 control license, wine permit, or beer permit shall be revoked.
1 32 The bill provides that this penalty shall instead apply upon a
1 33 fifth conviction within three years. The bill provides that
1 34 for a fourth conviction within three years, the violator's
1 35 liquor control license, wine permit, or beer permit shall be
2 1 suspended for a period of 60 days, and in addition, for a
2 2 conviction for a violation of Code section 123.49, paragraph
2 3 "h", which concerns the consumption of alcohol by underage
2 4 individuals, there shall be assessed a civil penalty of
2 5 $2,000.
2 6 The bill additionally provides that when more than one
2 7 place of business is operated by a licensee or permittee, and
2 8 a retail permit is suspended or revoked pursuant to Code
2 9 section 123.50, the suspension or revocation shall apply only
2 10 to the place of business at which the violation resulting in
2 11 suspension or revocation occurred, and shall not apply to any
2 12 other place of business to which the retail permit applies but
2 13 at which a violation did not occur.
