Bill
SR 190
Establishes a task force to study and recommend ways to streamline state and local alcoholic beverage permit applications and issuances for faster, clearer processes.
SR 190 establishes a formal task force charged with studying current state and local processes for applying for and issuing alcoholic beverage permits and identifying ways to make those processes more efficient, transparent, and user‑friendly. The overarching goals are to reduce administrative burden and delays for applicants, improve intergovernmental coordination, and identify statutory, regulatory, and operational changes that could streamline permitting while preserving public‑safety and regulatory objectives.
The enrolled resolution creates a study group (task force) whose core responsibilities are likely to include:
- Mapping current application and issuance processes at the state and local levels.
- Identifying duplicative or unnecessary steps, data requirements, or inspections.
- Evaluating options for process improvements such as coordinated/one‑stop applications, shared electronic systems/portals, uniform forms, fee harmonization, and clearer timelines.
- Consulting with stakeholders (state regulatory agencies, local liquor commissioners, municipal clerks, law enforcement, hospitality industry, small business groups, and consumer/public‑safety advocates).
- Developing recommendations for statutory, regulatory, procedural, and technology changes and producing a report for the legislature or appropriate state officials.
(Note: the enrolled text provided to the analyst does not include the task force’s exact membership, reporting deadline, or procedural rules. The official enrolled resolution should be consulted for those specifics.)
