BY  (PROPOSED COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC GROWTH BILL BY CHAIRPERSON THOMAS)

A BILL FOR

An Act concerning allowable locations for holders of a class “E” liquor control license.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 123.30, subsection 3, paragraph e, subparagraph (1), Code Supplement 2009, is amended to read as follows:
   (1)  A class “E” liquor control license may be issued and shall authorize the holder to purchase alcoholic liquor from the division only and to sell the alcoholic liquor to patrons for consumption off the licensed premises and to other liquor control licensees. A class “E” license shall not be issued to premises at which gasoline is sold. A holder of a class “E” liquor control license may hold other retail liquor control licenses or retail wine or beer permits, but the premises licensed under a class “E” liquor control license shall be separate from other licensed premises, though the separate premises may have a common entrance. However, the holder of a class “E” liquor control license may also hold a class “B” wine or class “C” beer permit or both for the premises licensed under a class “E” liquor control license.
EXPLANATION
   This bill allows a class “E” liquor control license to be issued to a premises at which gasoline is sold. Current law does not allow a license to be issued for a location that sells gasoline.
