Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a municipal governing body may grant and issue "Class A"
and "Class B" retail licenses authorizing the sale of intoxicating liquor and "Class C"
retail licenses authorizing the sale of wine. A member of the municipal governing
body may not sell or offer to sell to any person holding or applying for a retail license
any bond, material, product, or thing that may be used by the licensee in carrying
on the retail business.
This bill modifies the interest restriction on a member of a municipal governing
body by providing that such a member may not hold an intoxicating liquor
wholesaler's permit or, with respect to the issuance or denial of retail licenses: 1)
realize substantial personal gain through official conduct or have any interest that
interferes with the full and faithful discharge of his or her duties; 2) use his or her
public position to obtain financial gain or anything of substantial value for himself
or herself or certain others; or 3) solicit or accept from any person anything of value
if it could reasonably be expected to influence his or her official actions or judgment.
