A class “E” license shall not be issued to 8 premises at which gasoline is sold. A holder of a class “E” 9 liquor control license may hold other retail liquor control 10 licenses or retail wine or beer permits, but the premises 11 licensed under a class “E” liquor control license shall be 12 separate from other licensed premises, though the separate 13 premises may have a common entrance.

A 31 violation of this new provision would subject the licensee to 32 criminal and civil penalties pursuant to Code section 123.50. 33 -1- LSB 5838HV (2) 83 ec/sc 1/ 1
