What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

This Act requires the Commissioner, after 25 complaints from residents who reside within one mile of a licensed establishment that sells alcohol regarding a violation of statutory or regulatory requirements, to direct an investigation to the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement for an independent investigation. If an investigation finds the complaint credible, and a hearing is necessary, the signatories of the petition will also be provided notice of the hearing and given an opportunity to appear and provide an impact statement.
